Sorry for being so nosy, is it a JPEG or SOOC? Those red blotches in the shadows are very noticeable and it's only ISO 1000 .... still an amazing shot nevertheless.

It was a raw file (I think) and I did crop it. I was also shooting through heavy foliage and I believe a cyclone fence and it was the blue hour, my mk5ll is quirky about noise in the blacks.

The local swan at the basins.

I love an unconventional composition with a more unusual aspect ratio (I cropped the swan more to the top because she looks downwards and the empty space gives me a sense of curiosity about what does she see).

IT'S NOT A SEPIA EFFECT ... I SWEAR (it's actually a bit of an oddball White Balance that I find southing for unknown reason).

The swan said no but the dog said: ALL YOUR BREAD BELONGS TO US (*wink* *wink* anyone who get's the reference).

I really like your first few swan photos, that white balance suits the subject and creates a lovely mood. I have only recently started trying custom white balance settings myself, and am enjoying the results.

Rainbow Lorikeet. I am told that these are, indeed, some of our most raucous parrots.

I usually deal with white balance in post since I prefer to shoot RAW and get the most out of the 4/3 sensor. Most of the time I aim for realistic and per moment accuracy unless I have plenty of images to give me room to experiment or the pictures are old enough that I don't remember how the scene was.
