Message:: [QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 540739, member: 2972"]Here's a picture of the histogram for your photo: <img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/110038046/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Notice the red color in the graph -- all off to the right side of the graph and -- that's showing how the red channel is blown (i.e. there's red channel data that is above FF / 255 in value).  This causes the channel to be clipped, and the colors come out odd looking. Here's a shot with the histogram only showing the red channel: <img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/110038367/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> See how it's "right leaning" and "going off the right side of the graph"?  That's the red channel being clipped. Dialing back the exposure and/or trying to even out the lighting will likely solve this problem -- however I suspect the photograph won't be as dramatic as a result. All that said, the red channel being clipped is only part of the problem -- which is why I've asked for the EXITF.   I think there's something going on with the saturation in-camera.
