Pheasant close up.
Many don't like head shots, but they don't hurt anyone I reckon !
It can certainly relieve the boredom when one of these nicks all the food you,ve put out for something else !

Well I certainly don't mind head shots, especially when executed as well as this one is. Lovely shot John.

Thanks all.
I think the thing about head shots is that people assume the photographer is trying to say
"Look how close I am, or look at the feather detail I can get "
I don't think thats always the case and I think its a nice change.
Cheers
