Hello, A very interesting close up of the underside of the mushroom. Good DOF and the photo has a nice sense of lines and curves. TFS,
and have a great day,
Karen

Hi Vasko,

Greetings first of all. Before answering your question "how to remove blue cast" I must tell the color tone your photo got a little overcast of is cyan, not blue! Removing the blue cast: try level adjustment - first of all auto levels, and if that one doesn't meet your expectations, set the levels manually. You can also try, if the result's not good enough, with color adjustment. I don't have Photoshop CS5, only CS2, but I used to work with Ulead Photoimpact 12, that's my favorite - so the names of tools may be a little different. I made a workshop for you, with a simple PhotoFiltre demo - but telling the truth I didn't detect the heavy blue / cyan overcast you talk about, only a little!

Much bigger problem is the out of focus fruit-body in the foreground - practically half of the photo is filled with blurred mushroom textures which didn't help to the photographer, nor the viewer, to achieve the best possible DoF, although you worked with f/13,4. I tried to correct this in my WS with cropping.

ID: the False Chanterelle, Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca (Wulfen) Maire, unmistakable.

Best regards, László
