So taking photos of your art is always tricky - at least in my experience.
I recently posted 2 images of the same painting on my face book page to show the big difference lighting makes. One was taken with the sun behind clouds the other with the sun out. You can see for yourself what a huge difference. Even the time of day seems to have a profound impact on how the camera reads the image. That is just the beginning of the problem though. Now the next issue is with the computer monitor and program processing your photo. I hope you got a good photo editing program to play with the image. In my case I found reds and oranges are always way over saturated on the image and seldom do I get it resolved to my total satisfaction. Trial and error and ......is your friend here. Also - I might have mentioned that first - always take the photo before you varnish. I love what varnish does to the painting in popping the colours but trying to get a good photo without glare from the glossy image is near impossible. So settle in and enjoy the ride - if you can - and eventually you will get the image that fairly represents your actual painting.
