Sky prints green


 
 
Hi All: Purchased a Nikon 5700 in Nov. I have been trying for many months, with a SLR 35mm, with various lens and film to capture a model of a bald eagle with a fish in one claw that is suspended from the ceiling dome of a local casino. The lighting is indirect and the eagle is way too far away for a flash to be effective. I was finally able to capture several excellent shots with the new Nikon. I ran them through Photo Shop to clone out the pole hanging from the ceiling and did some gamma touch up. The pictures look great on my computer, but printed, the sky is more green than blue. I have changed printers, printed from three different photo manipulation/viewing programs and while there are very minor differences, the sky continues to print green. Have used different photo paper, and printer settings (HP 722C) with no luck. HP test prints show color as it should be. In the hundreds of images I have printed, I have never come across this before. Given that the model is very difficult to photograph, is there anything I can do within the 5700 software, even though the image on the lcd and on the computer look fine? Thanks for any and all advice...David
