At least that's what it seems

too dark, the foreground definetly needs lightening up

Mitch, I need more explanation please. You say it is dark, but it looks great on my Monitor and my Laptop. I hear often about "darkness" on other peoples images and frankly I wonder who has the problem. My monitor shows the light green grass just to the left above the boulder as the lightest spot and the bush to the left by the tree as the greatest area of high contrast. The foreground area you mentioned looks slightly darker but it is a result of natural lighting because it is on the shady side. I made no maniplation in that area. I would appreciate a response because I am wondering how I should adjust my image,monitor or both.

I have posted another exact image only with the Srgb profile because I have heard it makes a difference. This is the Adobe version, hence the title. Thanks!

The Srgb version made a large difference on my particular monitor. I'm viewing most of these images on a Win2000 machine and the Argb versions just seem to lack any clear definition in the darker spaces on this particular monitor. Just not very sharp or distinct. This monitor has not really been set-up, but the monitor at home has colorspace on it and it is much brighter, perhaps the problem is with my monitor here. But as I said, the Srgb version is much better. By the way, I checked out your portfolio and enjoyed it very much. I'm really impressed by your work.
