Turkey portrait

I think I would describe this bird as very colorful but not exactly pretty. :) The hair sticking out of the head makes him look even weirder.

Gobble Gobblle......Really nice portrait Sid. The details are so cool. Such an alien looking bird!

[Bonnie Block]

Very good, Sid! I am amazed by the little hairs. I have owned turkeys and never have I seen those!
The image seems just a tad bright on my monitor.

Cool portrait, you can see the trees and sky in the eye reflection.

I would crop a little off of the right side and selectively darken the fleshy parts of the head.

Hi Sid!

This image gives me the "creepies" ... it is beautiful how ugly it looks (if that makes any sense). I really love the details!

[Jody Melanson]

Cool image Sid! The little hairs sticking out of his head look like little weeds growing. :)

[Maxis Gamez]

Love the composition Sid. The details are simply amazing. You have a winner here!

[Rene Quenneville]

Great image! Amazing details. You made me discover some features that I had never seen before on this bird. Picture is extremely sharp. You could probably add a little dodging on the eye.

[Fabs Forns]

I'm amazaed at the little hairs in the head :)

[Marko Matesic]

Great and funny portret :)

Sid,
This image is dead sharp and well exposed.
Very good job of seeing an image and capturing it.

I agree with Robert, a bit of a crop off of the left would IMO make this an even stronger image.
