Since I was asked - there was no processing trick here! If you'll notice the shot data,
it was shot at 1/40th sec at f4 at deepening dusk. This was one of those nights where we got those red and pink clouds in the sunset.
The natural "pinkish" light was reflected off the bay at low tide
(the mud flat and puddles where the bird is standing is usually under water at dusk, I think).
