I thank you very much. I have to admit I am a bit puzzled by the blue background. That blue background is actually my street which was paved with road tar, not asphalt.

I had it set to Auto White Balance on an early evening night. I wonder if I should have taken a snap of my Gray Scale Card and entered it into Custom White Balance.

The blue also shows up when concrete is in the image.

Well, in this case I think it worked very nicely in your favour, Tony.

Very nice. Again, a compliment to your wife!
Whether the road is black or blue, the leaf is *green* against the red and the blue. Really good!
BTW, I've been puzzled by bluish reflections or highlights off of road tar when the sun glances at a low angle. Never saw it in a photo image, but I wonder if that might explain?
Angky.

Awesome capture of this lily, both the bloom and foliage. Detail and colors are superb.

Angky, many thnx for the compliments. I did discover that the problem is caused by taking the image at dusk. This is referred to as: "The Blue Hour." No joke, true story.

I do suspect that it can be corrected somehow in WB. Thnx again,

Tony
