I noticed the purple cast to the leaves for the first time this morning 
since it had been grossly amplified by Firefox having somehow lost track 
of my monitor profile.  I think that's been happening for a while now 
and explains some strange color happenings here lately.

Anyhow, after correcting the monitor profile I noted the purple cast on 
some of the leaves was still there but much more subtle and not in 
clearly in my face.  I decided that I was once again going to comment 
about the blue cast of the image but decided maybe you really like blue 
casts to shadowed images.  Besides, it could all be a figment of the 
color imagination of the Krappy Kolor laptop.  In any case it's a really 
nice image.  And despite what Marnie might say I was never really 
bothered by the leaf.  :-)
