In my part of the country we tend to get it hot  dry.  Hot to me is around 
30C.  This past week has been unseasonably warm but I just know the cold stuff 
is on its way :(

And the roses are still in bloom, I had a brief walk through our botanical 
gardens at lunch time today :)

I was more concerned about the birdsong, actually... -Assuming that
the roses don't proliferate in the wild...

 So my screen may be a bit off, or I may be in a pink phase.

Just got a chance to look at your PESO from a Lenovo T400 screen, and
a Lenovo X61 screen. The greys look neutral on both of those, as well
as on my ViewSonic desktop monitor at work. All of them uncalibrated,
but at least in family with the screen of your laptop (TN panel).

FWIW, I find it hard to get the WB right on my own laptop too. :-(

Pretty bird and great detail.  For me the bird is just a bit too centered.  I'd 
cut some stuff off the left to push the bird over.

Nice shot of an attractive bird. The environment is perfect for him.

I'm not wild about the negative vignetting. I think it makes the  
corners look a bit underexposed.

I would cut off the flare at the bottom, the right hand fifth and then 
enough from the top to balance it.  If I ever had the chance to get to 
this stage.

I like it.
It's a rather messy background, but the lines of the trunks and twigs
do somehow come together anyway. Great sharpness and pleasant pose. I
find the beak against the darker background a more happy coincidence
than do other commenteers. :-)
But are you sure about the white balance? It brings out a lot of great
colour in the bird, but the Platismatia lichen, the grey leaf-like
one, (Papirlav) has a tint of pink on my monitor(s).

Thank you crew, for looking and commenting.
Are you out of bricks?

About the WB Jostein. To answer your question. I'm not sure about it.
I got a comment about pink cast on my last PESO.
So my screen may be a bit off, or I may be in a pink phase.

I have just played a bit with WB. It looks a bit more correct when I
turn it towards blue. But also duller.
So it seems I just likes pink better than grey.
Perhaps I'm parading in pink leather pants next year ;-)
