Early May Morning at Joyner Park

Earache

Perhaps you intended it as a creative choice, but I see a very pronounced blue color-cast, and imo, it does not enhance this type of scene/composition.

I agree here. The color cast is hugely blue here. Also, what's the subject? I'm looking at whatever that is in the foreground (discarded sweatshirt?) and wondering if it's what you want me to look at. I can't tell what it is, so I'm just bugged by it ;-)

Thanks for pointing out the cast -- it was much bluer than I thought after re-calibrating my monitor!

I've gone ahead and removed the cast and removed the object in the foreground as I agree, that's not the point of the image at all. My subject in this case is the beautiful morning light of this May morning streaming through the trees of the park.

Let me know what you think about this update:

Earache

I do see some overall warming - the trunks, foliage, grass, etc. and removing the sweatshirt is spot-on, but, I'm sorry to say Karl, I still see a
significant color-shift. On my screen, the air and the left-most tree still look very blue, especially in the flare at upper-left corner.
It would be interesting to hear from others what they see, to help include/exclude your monitor as a cause for these differences.
