Lovely image of this beautiful and pretty bird. It does look like it's a member of the pheasant family and so I also agree with Bob!

Brilliantly colored bird, but he didn't do so well on the camouflage portion of the festivities!

Nice capture, Jen.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Strange. Almost all the male viewers think about 'food' when watching this image, while the female viewers only see the beauty of it. Haven't the 'courage' now to give my opinion, lol.
Great post Jen.
