Color cast?
I think I may have figured out my color issue (thanks for your patience everyone)... Any greenish or yellow cast on this one?

Plenty, actually. Also didn't have a color space tagged onto it.
Above is a corrected version.
I'll remove it immediately if you wish.

Thanks Stan and John. Apparently I still have a long way to go, the "corrected" image that you posted looks way off to me... Back to the drawing board! :confused:

I'm guessing John's version was created by selecting a neutral gray point, but to be honest I prefer the warmer cast in your image Guy.

Yeah, to be more clear i think there probably is a "color cast" in the first, but it looks ok to me since i get the feel of late afternoon warm light, whereas John's repost is definitely very neutral. Like maybe i was wearing polarized sunglasses for the first but forgot to put them on for the second :cool:

I prefer the first version with the warmer light. Nice shot!
