Another shot from Saturday. I rather liked this pose. Thought it was a bit differnt from the norm. Some will say the woody bit at the front of the pine is distracting but "to clone or not to clone - that is the question".

He must think he's well hidden behind there Maggie
Some lovely detail in the bird.
Well captured.

Excellent focus on the eye. There were plenty of pheasants at Dunham Massey last Friday
when we were clearing R. ponticum from Headman's Covert. Only a compact camera with me to record the day's events.

Hi Maggie
Great light, pose and BG but the whole pine branch (not just the woody bit) doesn't quite work for me. If the FG had been mush similar to the BG it would have been a cracker.

For me the foreground makes it. A great, quirky shot.
