That's very interesting julles, I wonder if it's like that on other's screens. The way I take my pics is that I have my camera set to take it's light meter reading concentrated in the center I then under expose the FLOWER slightly. this leaves the leaves way under exposed and the flower slightly under exposed. then when I have the pics imported to my hard drive my picasa program picks them up and when I have them in picasa I use there fill light to lighten the darker leaves, which only slightly lightens the flower back to proper exposure without changing the color. It works great and gives correct flower color to my eye but leaves the leaves looking under exposed and darker than in real life. This is more pronounced when taking pics of yellow flowers because to get the light colored flowers slightly under exposed makes the leaves WAY under exposed and they look very dark when the flowers are fill lighted to there correct color. Especially in bright sun.
Maybe our screens are at different brightness levels. Maybe mine is bright which makes me have my pics darker to compensate, and on your darker screen it appears very dark as a result. Maybe you could raise your brightness level. On my screen my pics that I post look just like they do on my picasa program, and I can see the leaves just fine, although darker than in real life to the eye.
Does anybody else have problems seeing the leaves in my pics ? I would like to know, please tell me.
