Pheasant Calling

Getting some quirky type pheasant shots at the moment, and also getting uses for them too.
Thought this was rather funny as soon as I chimped it. I immediately started looking for a line of hens standing to attention.

Think I should get out more

Another cracker John. Not sure about the dissappearing tail but to include it would have compromised the composition I guess.

some beautiful colours in this John

A well caught moment John

he looks a bit like a Sergeant major


Would have been even better with the tail

Very regimental!! I can see the speech bubble there too !!

Nits (tail ) covered,
Good stuff though.

Nice moment well captured. I'm going to have to agree with others about the tail - a landscape comp might have allowed it to be included. That said made you something out of what was on offer so good luck to you.

Cheers,
Chris

shame re the tail, but colours, sharpness etc spot on :)

If it means getting more shots like this John then 'yes' I agree you should get out more.. ! Well captured and it is a difficult option regarding the comp.

You captured the moment very well John.

They have great colouring with the right light.

Cheers

With the light catching all those displaying feathers John, it looks almost like one of those 'animated' characters. Great way to capture the intense colouring.

I like this a lot John, up to your usual pheasant standards I see in the magazine!

As Ian suggests standing to attention with a big stretch!

Well done on last weeks front cover

Great moment and obviously a great pose! Shame about the clipped tail though.

Fabulous pose. He seems really chuffed with himself

Great colourful shot, the composition is spot on for me

Super colours, pose and composition. Lovely image John.
