Or is this profile better?

Nuther icy cold day. Why not try some photos of the ice as the sun comes up. First one with the D7100 and AF-P 70-300mm. Last 2 with the D7500, and sigma 50-100mm, then sigma 150-600mm.

Goofed around with the grain module here.

Just curious of the difference in color between the lenses. The AF-P 70-300mm (brighter orange ice sickles, more washed out sky), the sigma 50-100mm (orange ice sickles, less washed out sky), and the sigma 150-600mm (white ice sickles and more blue sky)? Which image is the nearest color to what your eyes see?

Hi!
When I had taken the second photo, I noticed the difference in color, and compared "what I saw" to the photo. (The Sigma A 50-100mm). It was very much what I saw. (well, the icicles, not the sky)
Looking at the EXIF info, I see the first photo was taken at 744am, which is pretty much sunrise these days. So the first one was closest to sunrise and the big orange ball of the sun.
Second photo says 907, but I see one camera is on daylight savings and the other isn't so that's off by an hour. So taken at 807am and still has orange. The 3rd photo was most like 8:45am.
I suspect the color differences more a factor of how high up the sun was. At first I was thinking my D7100 was really out of whack and then actually wondered about the Nikkor AF-P 70-300..
I did boost exposure a little more on the first photo too as it was darker. 2nd photo was F2.8, and the other 2 were F5.0.

Fun how it all turned out.
I switched lenses because I didn't like the tree bokeh on the first one.

Thank you mikeee. The time difference really is what effected the colors. I have a Sigma C 150-600, which I am very happy with. I was initially distressed by the loss of the ice sickles color, but thrilled with sky color with this lens, but the time change explained the color nicely. If the 150-600 was shot earlier, I believe the ice sickle color issue would be resolved. I wounder, at that time, what the ski would have looked like? The first photo ice sickle and third photo sky would be the ideal photo, but that might not happen.
