Nice shots Roger, I like them all. I have noticed though quite a severe colour cast on the Coal Tit one - there is a lot of blue in that image and I think it would benefit from the WB being adjusted to a warmer setting.

Thanks, David.

Better......?




Roger.

Yes, that is better Roger, but it still has a slight blue cast and I would warm it up even more.

How about this Roger?

.....third time lucky.....?






Roger.

I think you were typing as I posted mine! On my monitor even the third one is very blue - look in the white area of the bird's feathers on the head and compare it with my version. I know that my monitor is accurate for colour balance - it would be good to know what others think?

Sorry, David, our postings crossed!

I do feel the overall feel of your version does remove the image from the "reality" of what I saw this morning, which you, of course, can't know.

Ultimately, I suppose, it's down to personal taste(?).

(edit) & yes, it would be interesting to know others' opinions......


Thanks for your interest & helpful comments.

Cheers,

Roger.
