    Default Ring-necked Pheasant

    This is the same individual that Stephen Stephen posted an image of earlier. This guy and another strutted their stuff in the snow for us on Sunday at Wolfe Island. This one was more approachable than the other. This was a lifer for me and I was glad to bring home some nice photographs of my first ever sighting of one!

    Canon Rebel XT + 100-400L @400mm, 1/1600s., f/8, ISO400, +0.7 EC, handheld, ~80% full frame

    Congrats on getting such a nice image on your first siting. The foot position is great.

    Hi Daniel Excellent stride Love the raised foot and eye contact There seems to be a cast in the snow easily removable Might also increase contrast a bit One nice image for your first ever sighting !!!!

    The bird looks so perfect it is almost like a very fine drawing. Well done!

    This is quite a lovely image Daniel, I dont see a cast and I love the shadow and the pose.

    super nice Daniel, love the "strutting" pose.
    I can see the cast, but believe it is all sky reflection

    I think Dave is correct The cast is probably form the sky reflection but it is apparent

    Downloaded and corrected Use the white feathers and black feathers to color balance Also gave the bird a couple of points black/neutral in selective color

    I like Al's repost a lot. Great pose and setting. The raised foot adds to it.

    This one is very sharp on the face and eye and with the bird angling slightly away the head turn is superb. Great job on the re-post and previous comments right on.
