Pheasant
Hard to believe that such gentle shades can end up so attractive
Whilst in the raven hide. All I got in 4 hours on that day.

Thaks all.
This has been an interesting excercise. The first image was treated exactly as several people advised when I had the Raven problem. Levels and threshhold ands and white spots and black spots - you name it.
This second post is just how I used to do them before. Just shadow 4 - highlights 84
Just goes to show.
Interestingly the first image white and black points were spot on.If there is a green cast why doesn't it show on the white patch ? Beats me. , (and Pheasants do have a little green on the beak when they have been eating grass !)

The second image makes me green with envy. Superb. It looks good enough to eat.

I would take off the sunglasses but it's my image - it will be ruined !

Hi John
I dont know if this will help, but I always shoot in daylight on the white ballance and never really have a problem, It may be different as you are Nikon and I use Canon but its worth a try, I know some other guy's that had a problem and they set the white ballance accordingly to the conditions and that was there problem, the white ballance presets in the camera are far from being accurate.

Hi Dale
Yes I always do that in fact. Ithink the problem is that I have become so paranoid about colour casts that I am processing images that don't need it !! My problem will always be that I can't see them. There must be a simple auto cast detection software somewhere but I can't find any.
Cheers

I have to agree that they are very attractive birds and you have done her full justice
Beautiful portrait and great detail, however there is a slight green tinge to the lighter feathers and beak
Simon
What a very nice portrait I really like these that show every detail. OK a little extra green but not a problem.
Well worth 4hrs of anyone's time and they taste better than raven too
