Last winter I photographed a White-rumped Shama in very poor lighting
conditions; much like the Western Bluebird re-posted a week or so ago, the
light on the Shama was heavily filtered / colored by overhead foliage making
good color balance tricky at best: good color balance on the bird resulted in
drab foliage, and good foliage color turned the bird a sickly green.
For this lighting condition I've created two separate Curves adjustment layers,
one for the foliage and one for the bird, creating a mask for each layer
corresponding to its intended target.
Here's the result for the Shama:
