It looks about right -- but then again it's brand new and ridiculously bright!
By the way someone sent me the following question:
Your images look really nice. Can you give me a summary of your work flow?
So if you are likewise interested...
1. spend way too much money on photo equipment given your income
2. travel to an exciting place
3. do your best to take good photos
4. import in to Aperture (this is now, back in the day it all went into iPhoto)
5. Do some minor PS touchups including levels and sharpening after resizing for web
6. Complain about not having enough time to do more photography and/or selling of your photographs so that you could offset #1
