    Good clear view of this owl. Really good look at his feet which is nice. I am seeing a bit of red/magenta in the feathers. The BO that I have seen are browner but maybe Texas BO's are different!!

    A really nice shot, for me it is a tad overexposed and I too see a slight colour cast, I think a tad more contrast at ACR and a white balance would improve this lovely shot.

    I think it's better, now this may just be me misinterpreting your image, but I still get the impression there is a pink cast there - it could be of course that there was indeed a pinkish colouration in the ground.

    Ok. I opened this up at my work and now I can clearly see the pinkish cast. I have no idea where that cast came from. I will take a look at the raw file when I get home. Thanks.

    Ok. I got home and worked on it for a while. I adjusted the WB added some contrast, saturation, and sharpened it. Looks better to me. Let me know.
    Thanks.
    Robert.
