I agree - digital cameras tend to up the contrast and color saturation by default. But the reach on that light looks pretty good. What was it in those shots and what was it when you angled it up more? My beam is eliptical too and I find a 50 ft reach more than enough under most circumstances. If I need more than that I have more lights anyway.
