The last wild population of phasants in Central Lithuania... C&C are more than wellcome...:D

Exposure is good and I also like the composition. Looks like you had to deal with harsh light. Shadow on the ground is kind of distracting IMO. If possible I would go low and try to make an image at eye level to avoid shadows.

The BG and the road don't do justice to the great looking bird, you had harsh light,
but did well with the shadows, good pose and HA too.
What do you mean last wild population? Does it mean there are no more populations left,
or they are all managed by re-populating.

The last wild population of pheasants in Central Lithuania means that there are nowhere else in Lithuania to see pheasants in the wild, only in private collections...
