Was it the rising sun casting some wierd colors or did I mess the colors up in my editing?
Thanks,
Ron

I am very new but it looks like a yellow cast.. I may be wrong.
RE: Pre Screening - Color Cast? (RonS)
Ron,
Being color blind, I can't unfortunately comment on the color cast. But I see jaggies underneath the wing and maybe a bit on the logo of the tail. And I think it needs a bit more contrast.

Looks like a yellowish green cast on my calibrated display.
RE: Pre Screening - Color Cast? (RonS)
Hi, Ron.
Yes, there's a strong green cast. I played with RGB levels separately and this is what I got.
There's a big gap on the right side of the green and blue channel histogram.

OK, thanks everyone...you've just saved me from another one of my DAILY rejections!
Perhaps the window I was shooting from messed up my colors, I usually do not have to adjust anything when processing, but I rarely shoot from behind glass.
I will pull this and re-edit.
Stil...if you have a second can you tell me how exactly to adjust the RGB? I'm assuming on a Duplicate layer to adjust the Curves, but I've never done that before.
Thanks guys.

Hi again, Ron.
Of course. Most of the times, I use levels feature by each channel instead of the general RGB one. I used this image on another thread; it's not your image, but it will show what I'm talking about although it's in spanish.
The histogram is not the same in every single channel and, using this example, you can see on the red channel histogram a small gap on the right side. Your picture needs a big adjust on both the blue and the green channel histogram. Here's your image blue channel histogram:
I usually have the 'Alt' key pressed while adjusting levels. It'll show show which areas are you working with while adjusting the slides. Press 'Alt' and move the right and left slides until some colour appears on the screen. You need to have the 'Preview' box activated to see this. Correct these two gaps and your picture will improve colour-wise.
Good luck with your picture.
