ETA: I wanted to add that the reason for the 3200K white balance adjustment in RAW was to provide the greatest color contrast with the foreground and background. That way I could desaturate the background without losing the color in the subject.

First, I love the sense of humor you injected into the title, refreshing after seeing so many arguments about what bokeh is and is not. It seems like a rather appropriate response to all the hullaboo, no? Excellent detail on the rooster, and I like that the color pops against the gray background. Nice work!
This was one of my favs. I love the title, and the grey bokeh background makes the guy really 'pop'. The ligthing on the rooster is great; the feather detail really nice. I like the way his beak is open, so that you can hear him saying "Cock-a-bokeh-do".
Nice Job!
Oh god, this is wonderful. SO unexpected. When that poultry face popped up, I almost spit out my coffee. And you even got him with his mouth open. GREAT title too. ROFL Unusual and certainly not the expected shot. Bravo. 10
