And it does have a bike on the bottom arms.)<\/p>\n<p>I took probably a dozen pictures the other day. Most didn&#8217;t turn out (the bird&#8217;s head was turned away from the camera, the light wasn&#8217;t quite right, etc.), but a few looked pretty good. The one where the bird&#8217;s head is an incredibly bright ruby-pink? It&#8217;s not color-retouched.
