 In CS2, proof view..this was much more moody and more dramatic. Saved it for web and "washout". :(

When you save for display on the web or on a computer (outside of CS3) use "Convert to profile" under Edit and change from Adobe RGB (which is the CS3 default) to sRGB, which is the web space color default. As for your hot spots, try using shadows/highlights with no shadows, and a touch of highlights. You can also cheat a bit by picking up a color with the eyedropper near the area that's too bright, then create a new blank layer and "paint" with your paintbrush tool, at about 40% opacity and 80% flow, over the bright areas. It's a little like burning those areas, but with color instead of gray.

Not entirely sure, but I think that it has to do with the colourspace assigned to the image. I've had the same problem from time to time, and I can't quite remember at the moment what I read about it - if I find it, I'll post it.

Otherwise -- I like how this makes you want to walk into the picture. You know, I think the colours look quite good as they are, especially on the wood parts.
