What's wrong with this picture?

I posted about my gauge issues today at my blog and I thought everything was solved. I may still be having trouble though! When I look at other pictures, the section at the beginning of the sleeve with the diamond shapes in sunrise and madder seem much more defined than mine. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?! I'm getting gauge now but it still looks funky to me.

It's a yarn dominance issue. I've been stranding the gold colour (in this section the pattern colour) underneath the red colour so that the gold stitches are the dominant ones and are a little bigger, giving you more definition.

Here is an excellent blog post on yarn dominance if you want some more info.

Good luck
