Nice behavior captured. Good pose, and I like the colors. Some more room in front would help if you have it. Tough to tell the IQ from the small size, but I'm sure it would look better posted at 1024px width.

Definately needs to be posted larger and more room in front for me also.
Interesting bird to post though, there have not been many pheasant photos posted here.
Beautiful interesting birds.

This looks like a very appealing image, but difficult to see any details with this small size.

We don't often see images of pheasants drumming. Looks like nice habitat. I agree with more room for the comp, and also for a larger posted version in order to better critique the IQ of the image (and perhaps help in that department if needed).
