Good flight pose on the bird. Is this a cropped horizontal frame?

Thanks for the comment John. Yes this is cropped from a horizontal. Cropped in on the sides with the top to bottom dimension cropped in a little bit.

Jim, that's a great angle but there seems to be a strong yellow cast on the bird.

Hi Jim. Very nice flight pose and comp. I agree the WB could be revisited.

Hi Jim,
I like the pose. Yes to the YELLOW/GREEN color cast. But this is a very strange image. I brought it into PS and tried RGB Curves Color Balancing it but all three channels showed as hot. Then I tried Average Blur Color Balancing and that failed miserably. As a last resort, I simply reduced the YELLOW and GREEN saturations. Stranger still when I tried to do some Selective Color work on the sky I noted very little if any changes even when I moved the sliders all the way to one side or the other. If you love this one you might want to start over.
with love, artie

Hi Jim,
Nice to see you posting again. Welcome back!
There is a very strong cyan/yellow cast to the image. It is nice and sharp so definitely worth reworking in PP,
Gail
