Tivoli gardens in Copenhagen.

Nice image. It just so happens that two Danes are in the other room
as I type this. No, not Popinjay...my brother and his wife are
visiting. They took us to Tivoli on one of our visits there.

Colour doesn't look right, somehow. Overdone.

There seem to be some saturation issues, so I have a few questions:

I see you used the G12, did you shoot RAW+JPEG?

Did you use any scene mode which might boost saturation of the JPEG in the G12?

Since you used Lightroom for this shot, did you look for saturation clipping?

Did you use any *Basic Panel* adjustments?
Have both *Vibrance* & *Saturation* been pushed up? If so, you might
find that pulling back on *Saturation* a tad should balance things up.
*Vibrance* will only adjust areas where saturation is low. whereas
*Saturation* acts globally.

Nice color. It's nice to see that you didn't make the typical ceneterd
I've been there image. Only a nit, was the sky Siskerized?

Being it is an Asian style building, I think the highly satruated look
belongs there. Though I do have a problem with the sky.

I have less of an issue with the sky, than I have with the over saturated reds.
Though the sky seems to lend towards a mild turquoise, which might come
from the use of an inappropriate scene mode in the G12. I don't think
that image was captured RAW, and there is always the temptation to use
some or other scene mode with a compact camera.

There also seems to be a fair amount of in-camera NR, and with those
reds & yellows, the auto WB could be off a tad. This is where having a
RAW file to work from could solve a whole slew of issues.

JPEG only

No

No. It looked OK on my screen via LR. It's only when it comes back to
me via Dropbox and Firefox that it looks overdone. The problem seems
to be mainly in the yellow.

There was a little done there but not much. The point is that it
looked OK at that stage. My monitors are overdue for recalibrating but
I wouldn't think it could affect things to a great extent.

I've got two monitors and I edited the image in LR using #1 and viewed
it later with FF in #2. I wondered if the monitors were sufficiently
different to cause the problem so I swapped them across the screens.
There was a very slight difference but it was only _very_ slight.

The only patch of yellow that seems to be possibly overdone is the
awning over the stage. All the other yellows seem to be OK and about
as I remember them. Maybe there is a call for a very slight area
adjustment.

The reds are right. That's what caught my eye in the first place.

Though the sky seems to lend towards a mild turquoise, which might come
from the use of an inappropriate scene mode in the G12.

The sky was more or less that colour. It was the end of the day and
the sky was fading.

I don't think
that image was captured RAW, and there is always the temptation to use
some or other scene mode with a compact camera.

There also seems to be a fair amount of in-camera NR, and with those

I used NR in LR when sharpening.

I don't know what you mean by 'Siskerised', although I suspect I have
already been told.

Nothing much was done to the sky, maybe a nudge of blue.

I think the answer lies somewhere in the labyrinth leading from
http://cameratico.com/guides/firefox-color-management/

Very interesting: very helpful: a must read for those interested in
the color accuracy of images obtained vi a web browser on their
screen. It's not just Firefox.
