Fabulous array of colours, and great clarity. The eye is espacially vivid.
I think pheasants are the most dimwitted birds on the planet. I have a friend who keeps them on her property and they run around like headless chickens even though they have heads.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Geez Richie, have you got that poor bird super glued to that spot. What incredible focus and detail. I think the eye is quite a feature in this photo. Merry Christmas ~~ John
