I read this too fast and missed the point.
Initially I told myself, heck, I am in one more than once a week.

Nice shot Shalu. The color seems a little off. You might try warming it up just a bit, and seeing what it looks like.

Gorgeous shot, Shalu. I sure like this one.

Thank you very much, Mike! You are absolutely right. I thought something was off with that picture, just did not realize how much the white balance was off! Canon 6D usually produce nice pictures with the famous Canon color, but not sure why this one came out so off. Here is the corrected version.

I think this version looks better, Shalu. I don't batch process, so I get way off on my white balance every once in awhile, and don't even realize it. After I finish post processing, I like to come back to my computer an hour or so later. and look over my finished photos. At times, I'm really surprised at how far off I was with the white balance during my initial post processing.

A Coal Tit--I think

I really like this one. The soft pine needles, the sharpness of the eagle, the composition. It has it all.
How close were you? Were you in a blind?
