Actually if look about a dozen posts before this one you will see one of
my
many shots. Not too hard was it.

Mmmmm, the problem with that is that for display on screen you probably
want
to have them as sRGB.

And yet here you are posting them for viewing on a monitor, not many will
make changes to their PCs just so they can see your pictures the way you
want them for printing.

I expect that will be zero people prepared to do that.

Not sure where you got this info but it is wrong.

Apparently you do, yes.....

Personally I like to have something interesting in the shot, I am using
RealA at the moment, nice for outdoor shooting but many like Provia, Astia
can be good for really contrasty backgrounds but I don't see that in your
shots..
