To me this looks a little blue (look at the whites). I notice the white balance was set to daylight (bright shadows?), did the camera or the photographer set this? However there are no shadows so if it looks like it is a bit cloudy, hence the blue look. Easily corrected in post processing, and the other colours will change slightly also.

When shooting jpgs you are at the mercy of the camera designer. Take control. This will mean you will need to overide the decisions mde by the camera when shooting.
For best results, when you are not working on a very tight time frame, shoot raw and that will give you maximum control over the final image.

Perhaps … I shall take a look at that … thanks, Richard ….

OK. "All the above" again.
You have a digital sensor. And an analogue eye. Two different kinds of frequency range and software. Your eye has an auto ISO that's different from your camera.
A lot of digitals can't see fire right. You can see the IR signal from your remotes in the camera. A crowd of white people in a park will sometimes look kinda orange.
Your eye sees what it does, your software translates that towards what you wanted to see, and you remember the image you expected. Look at a child's face- there it is, 5 feet below you. You remember what the child looked like as a level on face and upper body shot, but you never saw it.
Did you really see that red flower in that deep dark green forest? The camera didn't.
You saw a thing, and it's color. The camera saw the thing, affected by ambient light, and reflected light by nearby other things.
Your camera has a light sensitive sensor, that responds to different colors with different signals sent to the computer, that assembles these signals into a set of directions, then translates this into a portable file, that you import into your computer, that translates this into an image on your screen. And it ain't what you remember what you thought you saw.

Harry - if you meant this as an answer to my problem with ONE camera I have (out of 12 DSLRs) which shoots reds as orange, and greens with a purple tint … not sure you fully understand the problem. Since none of the others do this, I KNOW the problem's related to that one camera. Make sense???
