Thanks, I suppose color is one of the major things I have doubts about. I’ve noticed that a lot of my color processing ends up somewhere around here (which, to myself, I just refer to as ‘brown’). Personally I like it, but I always wonder if others find it garish.

It depends on what you are shooting and why.

This looks like summer

This seems to be a crop out of the same shot, above.  The tint has turned the scene into mid-fall.  As fine art, it reminds me a bit of Joel Grimes’ stuff, but as reportage it is a distortion which would probably get you fired from a newspaper or magazine.
