Every weekday morning, bright and early, we feature a photo (or two) from a photographer in the Torontoist Flickr Pool. It's our way of giving the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention that they deserve.

Mmmm... hooolga. I like this, but I prefer the original (less saturated) photo.

That's the exact same photo featured here.
The one above is not the same as the one it clicks through to. The one here is far more vibrant (much higher saturation) than the more subdued one on Flickr.
Ah, you're right. The only reason for that would be the colour space it was shot in, edited in, and uploaded to Flickr in versus the (correct) web-appropriate colour space I saved it in to feature it. I don't edit the photos in any way––cropping, touch-ups, or anything––to feature them on Torontoist.
Lots of photographers upload photos to Flickr in the colour space it was shot or edited in (because that preserves shooting data like the exact date and time it was shot, shutter speed, aperture, etc., in the file), rather than doing something like Saving for Web in Photoshop. The problem is that in browsers like Firefox or Internet Explorer, those photos don't display the full breadth of their colour––the way the photographer would have seen when they shot and/or edited it––unless they're saved for the web.
Colour spaces! They're the (confusing) wave of the future.
To avoid this problem, you should either be working in sRGB when opening/resaving these, and/or turn off your color management policies for RGB. :)
Thanks for featuring this work. The weather has been so grey that I have kept the original print of this propped up against my computer monitor.
Yes-this one does seem more saturated, but in some ways I like it as much as the original. I owe everyone an apology-this is a lo-res, canon flatbed scan of the five inch print, with little pshopping. If I only knew then what I know now about sRGB. Or new of the wonders of a for -rent Imacon scanner...
I went back same time in a year when the building was demolished, and found the tree standing. But it did not bloom as brilliantly as it did in this shot, and I did not take another.
