Craig,

Nice details and a great portrait but there seems to be a heavy green colorcast on the image which I can't believe was natural

Hi Luke and Bill,
"Thanks" for the heads up on the green colorcast. I am green color blind and often have trouble picking up on colorcast. I had processed this widgeon in another program that can pickup colorcast fairly easy.
This is a repost and hopefully you can see a difference! :rolleyes:

Hi Craig,
I must assume being green color blind causes you great difficulty in processing an image. Whatever you did on the repost definetly looks more natural. Good job.
Thanks for posting,
Ronnie G.

Nice job on the repost, Craig. Excellent detail and I like the water patterns in the bg. :toast:

Craig, this is very nice but is the bird all that green or do I see a green cast?

Great repost - your work is that much better knowing you have troubles with the greens!
