Challenge: Rule of Thirds in Blue (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM
Location: Johnson City, New York
Date: Jul 15, 2011
Aperture: f/6
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/2500th sec
Galleries: Birds
Date Uploaded: Jul 16, 2011

 Background originally orange-yellow. Was able to convert to nice blue by desaturating and lightening yellow, then changing the color balance, followed by levels. Don't love the purple in the post, but I can't think of anything to fix it in basic.

This is a fantastic shot, from the DOF to the color contrast on the bird itself. Well focused and well composed.
