Very nice, sharp as a tack and I love the color accents.

Fantastic capture, Michael! How close were you to him?

Amazing shot. The focus and detail is simply astounding. Nicely done.

This is an excellent capture! Great details in the feathers and nice pose! I take it you caught him in the backyard set up. I've been trying to get a pic of the same species, but without a blind set up, and when I creep around the corner of the garage, he flushes. I need to get me a blind set up! Thanks for sharing your find! :jump:

Yea from the blind its about 10 - 12ft so when they do come in you can get a decent shot. Thanks Brian

Thanks, Michael! I was wondering how you managed to get so close. Like Brian...I can't get close to them no matter what. :frown:
