Hi Vicky,

Aside from loving your shots, I downloaded one of the "warm" photos (top one) and made a slight adjustment to the yellow (less) and it is unbelievably realistic and beautiful.
As above, I love your work.

I would love to see what you did if you would care to share it.

Thanks for taking time for this post wylie.

I played around with white balance while getting some shots of the Gold-crowned Sparrows that are wintering here. Some were shot with the "cloudy" setting, others with the "sunny" setting. I can't decide which I like better - warm or cool. Any thoughts?

Warm or cool.... I like warm but that that is just preference; what really impresses me is your technique and the resulting SHARPNESS... Outstanding work Vick !

Here is a simple move on your 1st "warm" photo. It is actually an adjustment on the yellow AND red - but minor on the red - see one talented could do much better - but the overall detail in this photo is superb

They are all superb quality, Vicki; I like both. For what it's worth, if these were my photos, I would put both on my website for people to choose which look they liked.
