I just returned from a trip on the isle of Texel in Holland and to my surprise there were many pheasants walking around in the dunes and forests. I shot the one one in the rain with my Canon EF70-200mm L IS USM bla.bla lens. Enjoy!

Well shucks, I must find something wrong with this......ummmmmm....let's see.........hummmm....(oh boy)......
I FOUND IT. There's one feather out of focus in the 98th row, 46th feather down. whew. Thought I was losing my touch there for a second. Keep-pah.
