I have reconverted the raw, just clicked on auto for white balance looks about right ?
also resharpened after resizing

Yep that has got rid of the blue hue... looks good wish the whipsnade pen would allow a shot like this.

Not too Shabby Pete, not too shabby at all
The Sharpen looks about right to me, there is a little "blue" on the second one,
but the white balance edits seems to have sorted it

Thanks very much Chris appreciated
i was pleased to finally get a bit of luck
depth of field is narrow in the second i had to shoot at F3.2 as the light was poor
the original full size version always seems to look better but I guess that's inevitable
