I intentionally over corrected the one on my web page so that anybody could
view it.

The lighting on the first version was simply testing. It made the scene look
like a bright sunny afternoon (Which did not go with the theme)
The second one is darker simply because of the cloud layer.
It looks just right on both my home and work monitors. On my boss's
machine it is pitch black.

Well my home monitor is very old. I would suggest you try turning up the
brightness/
contrast first if they are not at max. Also have a look at your graphics
card. It might be trying
to do gamma correction. iirc monitors range from gamma 1.2 up to 2.2
I'm not able to do gamma correction on my monitor so I can't help you.
