    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.

    I like the low angle, sharpness, pose, colours, setting and composition. I like Randy's repost. Very well done Trey!

    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
