Avian Image of the Week for the week ending October 5th, 2012: Karl Egressy - Gray Jay

[Daniel Cadieux]

Congratulations Karl!

I took this picture in Algonquin.
Just came home last night.
I post the original in jpeg as well, no PP done to it at all.
It has blue cast in the bird's body and magenta cast mostly in the bird.
I got rid off the colour casts for the sake of BPN members.
Which colour version do you like better?
I like the original better.
Maybe the best would be something in between.
