I found this handsome fellow at a roadhouse during my visit to Cuba this spring.

We all have many things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Among those, for me, are birds. Their myriad varieties, colors, behaviors are sources of endless enjoyment, fascination, ... and challenge.

Happy Thanksgiving.

This is a very cool turkey day image, Bill. I love the comp and the way his head is sticking into the image. I would sharpen his head a tad more.

Marina has taken the words right out of my mouth/critique!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks everyone. Right after I posted this, I realized it could use a little more sharpening. It's taken me awhile to get back to it -- I've been off in search of Snowy Owls. Here's a repost.
