This photo has a full histogram and looks basically like it did in

I've never seen, except for scientific and forensic images, the value
of looking "like it did." I think it should look like a good
photograph, not "like it did." One of the things I've noticed about
great prints is that they really don't seem to be what it would have
looked like but what it can look like when properly handled by the
photographer.
Bob T wrote privately that he thought it needed more saturation. Wow,
that's hard to believe. That rust is really red on my monitor...
I think Bob and I are seeing exactly the same thing. I have three
monitors, one of which is calibrated, and it needs it on all three as
far as I'm concerned.
