The bird is coming out as a grey/blue colour am I missing something here.

Lovely setting but agree - seems a bit blue to me

Same nit as above for me.

Is this full frame? If so you must be getting mighty close and well done for that.

Cheers,
John

Ian,

Same for me, the colour seems a bit off which makes the exposure of the bird look a little over. It's a nice shot though, I really need to get out of my work routine to get more shooting done !

Nice, lots of detail, and i like the fact you can see the feet under the water too. What colour are they usually?

The bird is a surprising colour, but I suspect that is just the colour juveniles are, never having seen one. I tried using a white picker on it and it didn't change much. It's an interesting and very nice shot Ian and well done for getting it.

Thanks for all the replies, I have been worried about the comments on colour and have had a long look at some of the other shots and unedited stright out of the camera they all look the same colour.

I went back today and got some even closer ones of the young one and yep its still the same colour.
