Red-tailed Hawk

I'm wondering about the sky color being off - about an hour before

sunset - seems if I lower the temp the sky looks more realistic but the

bird goes blue. Is there any solution to this in raw development? In

any case I'm happy to have the shot as I don't catch them so soon

after a sucessful hunt.

This one is with PSE's camera raw 6.5 where it suggested 5900 and 12 into the magenta which overall looks more realistic.

....... being an "old duffer", I've yet to master the concept of RAW.... so I don't know if my explanation will be of use.

I downloaded into PSE and tried the various Auto "fixes" and then into edit where I played around with the lightening/darkening sliders with a touch of sharpening.

Ending up with this rendition of your image.

Sorry no Raw explanation.

Regards

Thanks Grayham, that is better yet.
