Not sure about messing with the colours (blue shadows). However it's a solid picture. Was it shot through glass?

Eurgh, blue shadows, I really do need to get my monitor recalibrated. Looks fine here

But yeah, shot through glass, no CPL either, because foolishly I left it at home (this annoyed me greatly that day)

It was in a tree I walked past. The sky at the back makes it look a bit like it's in a studio doesn't it!! Not intentional though.

5D3 and 100-400mm. I think the exif is something like F5.6 and 1/500th and ISO 100. Or there abouts.

Good shot but would be nice to have the ears I think

Might have got that blue tint because of shooting through glass

Yeah, thought the same, but I only got two chances to get shots of him like this. I'll have a look at the other one, but I think ears are off on that one as well

If I'd tracked him slightly longer I could have probably got it, but I spent a good 5 minutes+ tracking him as it was, and I was with others so didn't want to keep them waiting.

Yeah, but PS should have got rid of it

Seeing it on the second monitor now more so, so definitely need to get my main monitor calibrated.

You'd be surprised how difficult it is to remove, I've got some pics that just don't look right with an sort of PP.

King Damager · 9 Sep 2013 at 20:52

Bah, fair enough. I remember adding quite a bit of warmth into the picture as it was :S We'll see

I don't know if I prefer the colour or the B&W. They were taken moments apart, for the colour the evening sun creeped out from behind a cloud momentarily and I manged to get a foot closer before it jumped off.

i think i prefer the colour in this case, for me there isnt enough contrast

BTW, im very jealous of where you live..so much wildlife
