I totally agree Ron.

I've spoken to the editing suite staff & torn them off a strip for presenting such sub-standard work!

Or ... I adjusted the white balance.

The mural faces slightly east of north, so mid-afternoon wasn't the best time to take a picture of it.

I seriously wasn't criticizing your work, Pete. I just couldn't help but imagine how that image would look with more dramatic lighting. I totally understand about having to play the hand we're dealt with when out photographing. Been there, done that.... got the t-shirt.
