A light negative means that it is underexposed, the lab may try to correct the brightness but usually it leads to dull colours. For most vivid colours, it is best to overexpose a little bit (say + 0.5 stop). At least with colour negative; for slide film it is better to underexpose.
If this problem also occurs with correctly exposed frames then I do not know...
(But what I do know is that labs can do weird things with colours sometimes. I have once seen a negative that gave yellow prints, a subsequent enlargement ordered from the same lab turned out to be purple...)

Yes, I think the enhanced version resembles more of the real situation as far as the colors go. When I took the pic the light meter was in center so that could not be my problem...I don't think. When I looked @ the neg. just a sec ago it seemed to me that it was a little on the light side.
This pic. was not the only one that has washed colors...every pic. on that seems to washed out looking.

Difficult to say... does the enhanced version resembles more the real situation?
It may be the lab's fault, it may be over- or under-exposure. How does the negative look like? Does it look particularly light or dark?

Here is the same pic. but enhanced colors. It doesn't look as bad as before but I would still like to know what went wrong.
