The blue of the sky seems a bit funky to me at first glance. Maybe a little too much green in it? WB can be really tricky, agree wholeheartedly. It helps to have a well-balanced shot to A-B against while tweaking. Ones eyes keep on adapting to the colour balance and thwarting your attempts to see how "off" it is. Also agree with Brian: very nice scene, but hiker (from posture I think it's a woman) might be best off-center. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
