Hi Dennis
have an un-calibrated monitor it looks a bit yelow/orange to me which could also make it look over saturated ?
That aside pleasing enough image to me and appears to be well exposed.

Thanks Bob , I always try and go from the colour of the head on the tree sparrows, as for oversaturation that is one slider I rarely touch in light room, mainly vibrancy to a average of around 25%,but thanks for the feedback....

nice shot and great detail. what kit was used to get this?

 

[jerry12953]

I tend to agree on the colour balance.......it does look a little on the yellow side compared to the illustration in my field guide. But a nice shot, though.

I would also lean towards a yellow or orange cast Den, apart from that it's a nice shot.

Nothing much to add other than agreeing with what has already been mentioned.

Thanks all , please feel free to have a tweak at editing .....

It looks better on flickr, posting direct on here seems to have affected the sharpness and contrast (to my eyes)

 

[barratt1988]

What lens and body was used?

 

[u8myufo]

No idea what others are seeing here? A reduction in Yellow via Saturation/Hue, small amount of Blue added.

Nothing showing Rich...Tis now ...

Thanks for the edit....it as taken that orange look away

Edit by Rich looks spot on to me, the yellow/orange cast has gone, interesting I was going to have a go myself later when I boot up the pc, I would have probably tried wb, temp saturation, doubt I would have thought about adding blue

The Color Balance panel can be your friend Bob. It`s as good as THIS

Here's my take on it Den...

I have LR5, and used the Eye Dropper to correct the colour balance by clicking on the bird's chest, and then added a very small amount of: contrast, clarity and exposure.
What do you think?

That looks fine to me Russ,there will always be variations between edits,but so long as it deals with the original small issue, then that is all that really matters.

Yep aware of colour circle Rich it just gets forgotten sometimes its a thing of habit colour temp is the one I tend to use, you get usedto something and then forget other stuff which really is a mistake as each photo quite often need their own editing process
