To be honest Nigel, that looks much better. I'd personally darken it slightly, but as it is it's fine.

Green doesn't do so well when over-exposed. It gets a distinct yellow-green look. So I think the first shot has the upper trees going into that territory and a bit less exposure might have been helpful. This would bring it more into line with the second shot.

Thank you gwing! Let's have some more now...

Why not post one and see what everyone thinks? All I'm asking is that you post something that you consider accurate. It's out of interest, not something designed to trick you.

That image looks pretty much the same on my monitors, laptops, iPad, iPhone and daughter Hazel's Android phone, so let's not over-think things! Please don't be reticent about posting an example of your own, it would be interesting to see how much variation in perception exists.

Which is why I specified a natural landscape shot. We have to have some idea as to what constitutes a normal image, surely? We also have a very good idea of what a sunny day looks like, or a misty morning, or anything else we've seen in our lives.

You can see shadows, strong shadows, under the hedge to the right and in the door frame. This was a bright sunny moment. I won't say bright sunny day!

Can we see some examples from others?

Again, prompted by apparently widely different ideas as to how bright an image should be, let's have a look at what we all think is a natural landscape shot with correct colour and brightness. Here's my interpretation:

I don't know how you're processing these Nigel, but there's no way they would challenge a camera. They are just standard everyday daylight scenes.

We'll have a look into this collectively and see what people think is a normal shot as it clearly needs a bit of thought.

It's good to see a few different ideas and shots around the concept of bokeh. No pressure either as it's not a competition so no-one ends up doing the judging!

We should try it again with a different technique in mind.
