-15 Cyan but it seems to be lost in uploading to the forum?

That is probably too subtle a change to be seen on my ipad.  I will see if my colour calibrated monitor can spot the difference.

I find it remarkable that the displays that we use for editing can see these differences but when we upload the image to internet site that such subtleties are lost.

The Hhead and shoulders of the bird was in quite deep shade with rest of body OK in sun. Did local exposure correction in Photoshop but colour was bit cyan compared with rest of bird.

The second upload overwrote the first because the same filename was used - add a suffix e.g. kestrel_4460a.jpg instead of kestrel_4460.jpg if you want to keep the original.

It's a very nice photo - I was just satisfying JK's insatiable appetite to know why does what :lol:

Got my 400mm f2.8 AFS ED ii back from FixationUK.  They said it had a squeaky SWM but that happens when the lens is not used all the time!  Bad Nikon design or sourcing of bits.  However if you know about these motors it is not eminent failure but usually complaint of lack of use!
I am not giving them a superb lens of value £4k for £1200.

I had a squeaky Nikon lens and was told that there was an aluminium strip 'in there' that can oxidise and needed regular use to wear it off...if possible. It was suggested I put it in manual and focus it rapidly back and forth for a new days - 'sometimes they free themselves up”.

So I did this and I have to say it did quieten it down a bit but there was always a faint squeak. I eventually sold the lens on eBay declaring the squeak and it made 3/4 the price 'perfect' examples were making.
  
I suspect the resale price of these heavier long primes will have been influenced by the new FP lenses in some quarters. It will be even worse if/when Nikon bring out 400mm and 600mm version.  With Sony bringing out lightweight telephoto lenses it may spread up that release...once the world heals.
