Question about a scene in the Criterion Blu-ray

So I finally got around to buying this film on Blu-ray. For the most part it looks great, but I was sruck by the fact that the scene where Alexander envisions the procession in the desert (just after Isak has read his story about the forests and springs in the 5 hour version) has this overly bright, washed out quality to the image - sort of like an overexposed photograph. In the DVD I have, the scene looks like any of the others. That's the version I suppose I'm used to by now.

Has anyone else noticed this? What is the way it's supposed to look like? Thank you.
