I took this shot back on Saturday, May 12th at Point Pelee National Park during the largest migratory bird event of the year. As I parked my vehicle, I noticed this wild turkey in the parking lot that was standing guard beside the grass. I grabbed my camera, sneaked around a couple trees and laid down quickly to grab this shot before the turkey ran away.

This is a very cool turkey It looks like he is poseing for you with attitude. I like the vivid colors. This is alomst a perfect photo in my opinion. I would have liked to see a bit more catch light in his eye and the top of his head looks wash out. Definatly one of the best shots I have seen of a turkey. Nicely done

amazing detail and color in this shot ...the only problem is the eye and it needed little right on his or her eye to bring out the detail sharpness ...

anther than that everything look good to me ...thanks for sharing ....cheers !

Steven,

Thank you for your critique. I agree with you on the sharpness of the eye. I'll will try to increase the sharpness and repost.

Cheers,
