The colour shift is very obvious to me. The RH version has less magenta and naturally more natural greens.

Priscilla, it was not a shot of the greens even though they are in the scene. They should never had been included - had I had a longer lens, they would not have been.

The sky looks better as well IMHO.

Thank you.

Of course what was actually there will have been different from either.

Of course different but do we not strive to get close?

Now, think outside the box. You need to shoot a traffic light, close up, on a dark, dark, night. You don't care about nearby objects only the light itself. What is the correct WB? (image you are in Adobe Camera raw with the temperature and tint sliders). Hint: matching the lamplight or using a gray card gets you a gray light, theoretically. 'Daylight' won't do it, obviously. And 'Incandescent' will give you the wrong color for sure.

So, what WB?
