Low profile cock pheasant
Waiting for the barny to turn up on Sunday when one of the resident pheasants came to check out the Landy. I laid on the floor and he walked right up to me allowing this full framer:wink:

A real birds eye view Bob! Great use of a low POV here and it appears to be looming out of a mist. Different take on a fairly common bird which shows that it is not the subject that always makes the image but the way the shot is taken.

I agree with Nick, the low POV and the head-on approach work beautifully.

Good focus on the eyes, with spot on DOF. Like the head on POV too.
