Default Washed out colours - flickr

Hi All
would appreciate some critque for this photo.

colours are washed out / overexposed particularly the reds.
on two laptops the colours are fine, bright and bold and yet once i upload to flickr the colour changes. This has happened to one or two other of my photos and yet the difference then was subtle.

format is jpeg, lightroom2 and photoshop were used to process the photo.
any help / critique woudl be appriecated.

Mods: apologies if this is in the wrong section.

thanks

Update:

I played around with the settings in photoshop and use the save to web devices settings which automatically converts to sRGB( i have it on pro RGB). the colour come out better and I suspect that the colourspace setting is the reason this wash colour effect occurs.the image above does not appear to have updated so i will add the update below to demostrate the difference.

Mods: would this make a good article about the issue of displaying photos on different devices ?
regards

Moved to other technique. Your links are dead.

You can change the colorspace manually in the edit menu. Save for web deletes EXIF.

Default moved, dead links

thanks jdepould

links are not dead, just tried them. They both point to the same image in flickr.
saving for web does not remove the exif as i have tried this and the problem appears solved,as i have stated in update it appears to be the colour space issue for which saving to web devices resolves.
thanks again

Default image not visible

Trader
odd that you cannot see the images

try clearing your browser cache
I have done this and can see both images

but for the sake of this i will add the link again below.
and if you can't see it then don't worry about it

to the image URL
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3383/...1250e40c_o.jpg

and the image itself

I didn't do anything with my cache but now all your images are visible. Who know, may have been a server problem or something.

Anyway, yes your reds do look a bit washed out. Not overly so but just slightly. I don't know what the real life colors were so it is hard to say how bad they really are.
