On my way to feed the horses, this rooster set down across the fence from me in the corn stalks & wheat stubble. I grabbed the camera & hoped he wouldn't move. I shot through the windshield so as not to scare him off. They are such a gorgeous bird! Edited with PSPX for saturation, contrast, cloned out fence wire, sharpened, applied Mystical lighting spotlight.

Good effort. But there seems to be some shake in the image. Either the bird moved or something like that. The plant in front out of focus is very distracting.

Though this is quite a find, the spotlight distracts littlebit - theres always a chance to edit spotlight even darker from borders to create contrast - and theres quite alot of shaking or unsharpness in it.

What's the circle of light around the pheasant? It might just be me, but his body feathers seem out of focus.
