That's one cool chicken. It looks like a chicken to me. The use of flash is subtle. The colors are spectacular. Very nice.

Gorgeous, Simon. Makes you wonder why anyone would ever breed away from something this beautiful.

I recall my own time in Thailand trying to get photos of this bird. It's wasn't so easy. They have good reason to stay hidden. Beautiful colors, Simon. The light is just perfect. :toast:

What an awesome bird this must be to photograph. Love the colors in this one Simon and nice clean shot. One of the better uses of flash I have seen posted in awhile.
