Bob, Ling, Wiliam -- thanks for taking the time to look.

Bob, I'm glad you like the striped ones.  I thought those were very
interesting.  Lovely wife planted those last fall.  I'm trying to be
encouraging of such efforts.

Ling -- glad the colors seem OK.  My normal Samsung monitor is
calibrated but still seems richer than my monitors at work or other
monitors around the house.  When I showed the gallery to my wife on her
computer, the colors seemed a little thinner than I was expecting.

In general, purples and yellows can go wrong in a hurry.  I pretty much
took what the camera gave and didn't mess with those ones further.  I
have been satisfied with the 5D in this respect.

Joel W.
