    Asghar, nice first post. I believe there is a color cast here, not sure what it is.

    If I guessed right, it's bird feces.

    Looks like it has a blueish cast over.

    Yes, it does have a blue cast. In this case desaturating the blue and cyan channels in PS would do a nice job of eliminating the unwanted blue cast...you could then also experiment raising the overall colour temp to see if that improvwes the image even more. I would definitely eliminate the whitewash too. Very nice expression on the owl's face, and I like the unusual rock perch. Good overall comp, albeit perhaps a tiny bit tight above.

    P.S. Welcome to BPN!!:D

    I like this little guy! Especially the leaning pose and right at you stare. I set white and black points (that took care of the slight
    cyan cast). Also darkened the rock and tinted it to blend with the surrounding colors, and darkened the background a little. Very nice capture!

    Very good work by David! the I see no original, but the repost looks great. I love to see birds perching on rocks every once in a while.
