Well done with a nice BKGR. What is the pink and black thing just under the tassel on the bird's breast?

with love, artie

Knew I'd love the composition just from the thumbnail. Beautiful BG, sharp from head to breast showing that wonderful plumage. You made this turkey just stunning. TFS

That is a loose feather.

Great view of this handsome guy John. The light and BG are great and you were wise to include the fuzzy chest thingy! Beautiful detail on the head as well. I might be tempted to move him slightly right in the frame just to leave a bit room room on the left into which he can look. Relatively minor though......

Very very nice portrait and so glad to see you were shooting vertical.
Great details in the plumage and I love that tassel!
One of your best images!
