Comment from FBI GUY
I give a great lesson in the use of the white balance with this shot. The rich colors and the sharp focus creates a almost 3D image. The lighting is great and the construction of the scene with the feet offset and the head and beak over center. The blurred background helps pop the bird's definition and colors. Great shot.
