Typically you don't shoot images in dark conditions because of the unnatural appearance of the flash. Add the basic addition of blue before the warming rays of sunlight are over the horizon, you have a very cold image. I had to significantly reduce the blue in Photoshop to keep the image from being too blue and more representative of the slide. I like this image even though it isn't razor sharp because it shows activity and environment. Not everything has to be tack sharp.
