This guys was from a ranch in the TX Hill Country call Turkey Hollow about 2hrs outside Austin. Beautiful little place. Was waiting on some Green Kingfishers that never showed but this guy was a highlight.
Taken in a slight drizzle...
Cheers,
Lou

Very lovely composition and a great pose. I love the clean BG and the very striking look of this image. I agree about the color and My recollection of them is that they are redder and more saturated. Would love to see another round of USM but overall a very beautiful image. Thanks for sharing Lou.
Spectacular..... Bravo and all that Lou. ;) For a minute when you said TX, I thought of the ranch (Los Madrones) and said, how come I didn't see one. A real wall hanger.
Lou, this is excellent work. Really love the composition. Great background. Remember to convert your web images to sRGB before posting. I brought this image into PhotoShop and a lot of the "punch" came back in an Adobe RGB workspace :)
Lou, this is the sort of image I hope to see each time I log onto BSN. I think it's a superb composition enhanced by an amazing perch and a wonderful BG. Cannot comment on the colours as I do not know this species but I do wonder whether the saturation could be increased. . . .
