good white balance Jerry! White feathers are almost impossible to photograph on a hot sunny day here in Malaysia

Anne from White Rock, Canada

Absolutely fantastic Jerry! When I used to print in my darkroom - it was hard to see if light colors were well focussed or not from the negative image - so I always looked for the eyes! Well - you got the eye detail so the rest has to be perfect at that fstop. Beautiful Bird.
