 I saw these wild turkeys in a pasture as I was driving down the road. I stopped my car and jumped out to snap one shot as they started to walk off. As I was looking at the photo later, I noticed the spokes in the old wagon-wheels matched the lines in the tail feathers.

Sharpened, resized, cropped and saturated.

This is such a fun shot, and it made me laugh..... I really like it...
Once again, I love the lines of the wheel spokes, and also the tail feathers of the turkeys, well done.....

looks oversharpened to me, but it's better than the Male-turkeys shot that was in a forum recently

i think this would have been better cropped tighter on the left, getting rid of that 3rd bird....although i guess it would take out the relation to the challenge...but this image would look better like that to me.

is this a "guess what happens next" round? Does a cartwheel fall over?

Nice pic (DoF might have been used to centre the viewer's focus), but doesn't do "bored" for me. Also, the hen on the left is walking out of frame - a bit distracting.
