Trey:
A very colorful fellow, nice shooting angle, strong sense of the environment without being overpowering.
It appears a bit bright too me, so I ran a luminosity layer at 35% Multiply blend mode. You obviously were there, but it seemed to present a little better with this change.
Cheers

Hi Trey,
I like the low shooting angle, the detail and the vibrant reds and yellows. I like Randy's repost a bit better, but I'm always at fault for having an image that's a touch too bright. I never notice it until after I see a darker version.

Thanks! The repost, while a small change, helped alot. Thanks Randy.
I like the low angle, sharpness, pose, colours, setting and composition. I like Randy's repost. Very well done Trey!
Like the repost and everything else but the too tall scraggly grasses in front of the bird.

What a fantastic image! Love the calling pose, colors and habitat...Randy's re post looks great...TFS
Well photographed, Trey. Fine job.,
Crazy looking bird, like it a lot.
Repost has improved slightly and like the natural habitat composition...no doubt exactly where one would expect to find a Prairie Chicken
