Camera was on Cloudy setting but I have used the white point selection tool to reset Colour Temp.

Taken from my back garden hide, I have recalibrated my monitor so I am curious to see your comments.

Jon in my eyes (just got new glasses:2eyes2:) this looks just the way i would expect this species to look,colours and detail look very good and natural,bird stands out well against that bg,very nice indeed.

Lovely looking image Jon. Yes, the colours look better here, than your last post of this bird. I think the recalibration has worked well. Nice feather detail and pose and a great looking BG.

MUCH better than the last one Jon, I think the calibration is correct now
