Obviously this thread has gone on and off topic a few times
I think it's something to do with the first comment about people being too nice and not being critical enough
I try to be constructive if I'm going to be critical about an image. Other times I don't have time to respond in depth, so if the image is good "for them", then a simple "well done" helps to give encouragement and keep them going.
Anyway, that's the off-topic part.
On-topic, I think you're absolutely right Peter. I think the problem is that most of the DSLR imagers are quite new in what they do and so probably don't realise that the red is missing for a start, and that there *should* be red given the type of object and the emission it's producing.
You're right - the fix is easy and i'm glad you brought it up - it will give people a lot to think about. For some people, they might start to think more about *what* they're imaging and what the colour should be. For others, improving on what they've done before (regardless of accurate colour balance) is enough for them.
Even though you bring some contraversy with you at times, Peter, I enjoy your posts and your images and I hope that some of your knowledge can be passed along the way.
btw Welcome Greg, great to have you on-board.
