Very nice Lea :toast: . Excellent background. I too can see the colour cast on my (calibrated) monitor - not a lot, but it is there.

The background colours may be making the image look like it has a slight cast, the bird looks fine on my calibrated monitor.

Great shot.

Difficult to call on a cast, but running it through PS the blacks show a slightly high ammount of cyan, but overall the RGB values seem pretty even.

Very nice great ( :biggrin: ) spotted woodpecker.....

Lovely image, cast or no cast. I haven't been able to get one at all.
