A very nice shot Keith but the WB looks off to me on my monitor, I'd consider toning done the yellow a tiny bit. Good job.

Lovely soft light Keith

Superb pose. I wonder if you would get away with brightening it just a little? Gorgeous shot!

Hi Kieth Thought this was one you did in our garden the other week but its the wrong perch!

I think also it could do to have the gamma up a bit Try 110-120 in paint shop pro.
I think the colour is partly to do with the kale field you did it in. The whole pallette would be yellow/green so that may have influenced things. Still a good shot though whatever. Yammers are notoriousley difficult birds to get the head right on anyway.
Cheers

I don't normally go for a square format, but it works nicely here. A species I am still trying to add to my portfolio.
