Hi John,

Hello John
A nice Turnstone image, and quite an unusual time to take it!
On my monitor, the image seems to be very much on the warm side. I'm not sure if that is deliberate or not, but hope you don't mind my putting what appears to be a corrected image here. Please let me know what you think, if you don't approve I will delete it immediately.
Best wishes
Phil :toast:

For me, the warm light is what makes this image more interesting than the standard Turnstone portrait. Therefore, I must say I prefer the original to Phil`s re-post!

Hi guys thanks for your comments. Phil the lighting conditions that I photographed the bird was the first posting. Your posting is a lot sharper so just leave it in.I do not mind anybody trying to improve my pictures :toast:
