This is my entry for Lens Day’s ‘Macro’ challenge.
Unless you’re surfing with Safari, you’re not seeing this image with all its colors. This is because it was shot using the AdobeRGB color space which almost no browser understands. In order to retain some of its radiance it was converted to sRGB before being published, although, for some reason I don’t understand yet, the picture isn’t rendered the same by Safari and by Firefox or IE on my Mac. In Safari the picture has the same vivid colors as the original whereas in Firefox and IE it’s somewhere between the original shot and the flat picture displayed when ignoring the AdobeRGB profile.
I’m totally new to color management and am just wondering if it’s worth it to use AdobeRGB instead of sRGB. In Photoshop Elements the benefit is obvious (although I should compare two shots of the same subject using the two color spaces). I also need to check that my prints provider understand AdobeRGB. What’s your opinion? Do you use a specific color space or do you go with the one provided by default on your camera?

I can’t help you out with the directly technical aspects, but I’m on a Mac and I tried it out in IE to see what you mean– in bot IE and my regular browser, Safari, it looks the same, with all the spectrum of vivid colors.

Color spaces aside, I like this a lot. The colors look very rich on my monitor, and the composition is good.
