is there anything that can be done to avoid blue shadows in bright sun?

In this image? Just use the sponge tool and desaturate them. Easy. You'd want a little blue in the shadows given the conditions though. The primary critique I could offer for this image would be the dark halo around the bird and of course the line between light and dark across the face. Nothing you can do there except hope for a better angle next time.

David,
Too bad about that shadow going across the bird as Marc mentioned. Not a bad shot IMHO.

Thanks for your help Marc. The sponge works well. Here is another image from the same shoot with less obtrusive shadows. 2000th sec, f4, iso 320

I like the orange feet on the second post. If you could tone down the contrast on the first post, it's really pretty nice comp IMO.
