Wow! I was way off!! How did you change the colors so drastically without touching the WB? Were you editing the RAW file or the jpeg? Canon DPP of Adobe PS?

RAW, LR2.


To get this color I changed the saturation in 3 different channels (under the "HSL" box):

• Orange: +100
• Yellow: -19
• Blue: -100

In the "Camera Calibration" box I also changed:

• Tint: -7
• Red Primary:
  
  • Hue: +31
  • Saturation: -7
  
  
• Green Primary:
  
  • Hue: -100
  • Saturation: +21
  
  
• Blue Primary:
  
  • Hue: -69
  • Saturation: -29

Well, the water looks like a nice sunrise - but the head of the bird is bright like at high noon. It looks romantic, but not natural...It's just my opinion.

Well I actually never thought about it this way, but I guess you are right.


Welcome to the forum!
