This little guy spotted me as I took this shot and then bolted!

…surely looks well fed
and on the greenish side of life.

The green was reflected from the leaves surrounding him. I even toned down the green tint!

May I try?

 

[Orangecroc]

You're welcome to, I didn't take it very far because the light looked greenish around him when I took the shot.

 

[Kodiak Qc]

You're welcome to

Thanks Ben, my suggestion…
you could do better with the RAW.

That looks very blue to my eyes.

Yes, but with the RAW, more is possible… I just
wanted to illustrate the possibility.

Easily a lot more can be done with the jpeg Daniel ....I've reduced the chromatic aberration as well Ben

Way too yellow for who Daniel? I do wonder sometimes if you are serious or just having a laugh.

Let's just laugh!

It is only a little warmer, I think you just like blue darkness, Daniel!

I really need to work out how to get rid of CA better in rawtherapee, whenever I have tried anything but auto, I end up making it worse.

I can't help you with rawtherapee Ben, its something I've never used.

There's an auto setting in View NX2 which I usually try first that's fairly good. If it needs reducing more I'll create a layer mask, reduce the cyans channel, then use a soft edge brush over the worst areas in Elements 14, very simple once practised
