I took this one today from the backyard blind. I apologize for another high key snowy background but the stuff just wont go away. So I think I got the background white on this one. I used the white balance medicine dropper in light room and found the 100% in all RGB. Normally I am not a fan of the bird staring directly at the camera but I think it may have worked on this one? The image has been cropped to an 8x10 format. In post I increased contrast a little and decreased saturation. I cloned out an out of focus head of another bird in the bottom left of the original shot which is mostly cropped out here. Please let me know what your feelings are on this one.
