I have been finding that my images that I put into Elements suffer a color shift after I upload them to flickr. Maybe I should be using different settings to export the picture? I do not really understand the technical stuff. Here is a photo exported from Lightroom and loaded onto flickr:

Here it is after being sent to Elements. On my computer there is no color change until I load it onto flickr:

I have had this happen to several images including the 'Maria' one. I thought at first I was going crazy but I don't think so. :)

No Raiven you are not going crazy this happens because professional programs like Photoshop use Color Profiles, usually Adobe profile, when you send it outside like some windows viewer or flickr this profile is either converted to sRGB or just discarded, thats why you see it twarted.
So if you want to keep the colors, you should convert your image to sRGB which is the most usual profile acepted around. Before ending to flickr, but you dont need to convert your original image, you may lose information.
