This was my first day back shooting, in quite some time. I have started metal detecting and got hooked. So most of my time now, is finding treasure!

Although, this guy was a treasure too! Such a fantastic looking bird! I found him at a farm, I have been detecting at.

I like the image. Although I'm not sure how the background line, will hit people. I wish it was softer, but wanted the depth of field. Ahhh compromise....

Planning on giving this as a christmas gift. Kenny the farmer, will love it!

Nicely focused, good colors, and crisp. That verical line I find distracting. It also seems to have a bit too much room on the left side of the frame??? The feels a little centered and there seems as I said, to be a bit more space to left tnan optimum. I like the negative space this guy presents, but wonder if it could be taken more advantage of.

Nice sharp focus, the tones in the background really add something to this for me, elevates the picture some

Funky chicken ;-) Can't decide if I like the sharp delineations in the background or if they'd be a better foil for the bird if they were blurrier.
