Hi all
What do you good folk make of this shot - I quite like it, I think the evening sun has brought out the pheasant's colours nicely, but my agent's rejected it and I'm at odds to work out why
Any ideas?
Full frame shot and I've boosted the colours for web presentation.

Looks fine to me apart from the slightly distracting foreground. They are a well photographed (was going to say "shot!") bird so maybe the agent's got tons of them.
Cheers

A nice bird in nice light-nothing at all wrong with it but agree with John re the agents-they will have loads of static type images-if it was doing something then it may be a different matter-I wouldnt expect my agent to take it either
Very nice light. Apart from the obvious reason for rejection IE. oversaturated stocks, the only thing I can see against it is that patch of distracting background to left rear of bird.
