Excellent shot indeed. But may I comment on something? There seems to be a bluish cast on my monitor. Anybody else notice it?

I might be wrong but I think the bluish cast is from the light coming from the left side only. If you look at the right side of the owl and even the tree at the right side, they don't have that bluish cast  |

If you look at the right side of the owl and even the tree at the right side, they don't have that bluish cast I see the same as Tina. I've notice that the 40D sensor cast a bluish color on shaded areas or in low light conditions. I think the bright light white balance for the the 40D is set up a bit on the bluish temperature. Will see if setting it using the 30D bright light white balance will fix this. Cheers, Neon |

Bluish mystery explained:
Yes, it's somewhat blue on the left. This tree is actually beside a swimming pool (to the left) so the blue may have come from reflected light. But I think I'll do some tests on my 40D, too, to see if, as Neon suspects, there's a slight shift.
