    Thanks Peter, something definitely went wrong with your edit as BG has gone lighter TKS Wynand.

    Hi Vivaldo, I agree with Peter, I think you may wish to check your settings or calibration as the OP does look very 'pink'. Once that is addressed you have a good image, with good posse & composition.

    Although I am away and never like to trust my macBook pro for colour, I feel Peter's does address part of the main issue of colour cast, but perhaps it does need a hint in levels too just to give it a bit more depth. I would be interested to see Peters version with a hint more of a darker BG, but worry that the contrast between BG & subject may not give the image punch as per you OP when corrected?

    Hope you resolve the issue, however I am sure, like me, Peter could drop you a line or i can if it helps.

    TFS

    Fantastic sighting, low angle and light!
    Agree on the OP being too orange/reddish. Took Peter's repost and darkened the BG
    WDYT?

    Sorry Steve, we must've posted at the same time! To my eye your repost is a tad 'cold', and it looks like the image was shot in good "late/early" light? :2

    No worries Morkel, yours looks better as mine shows a certain amount of blue, will try and delete the revised image, as there is no real value in it.

    Thanks all for help I edited this image a while back and was a bit heavy handed when it came to adding saturation. Here's my second attempt, reduced orange and darkened BG as Peter suggested and tried adding contrast as suggested by Steve. Morkel do like the darker BG in u post TKS

    Love the pose and composition here... the angle is great, and makes it almost look like you found a two-headed pup. I think your last repost is looking pretty good!
