    Default Wild Turkey

    This youngster almost got too close! (Don't ya' hate it when that happens):D

    I would have liked a tad more room on the left...but he squawked just as I pulled the trigger...and I liked this one better than the intended comp.



    Camera Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark II N
    Shutter speed: 1/2000 sec
    Aperture: 6.3
    Exposure mode: Av
    ISO: 640
    Focal length: 560mm

    Lots of nice details on this one. Look at all those tiny feathers.
    If you are into that sort of thing, you can very easily add canvas to the left. Given the really nice smooth BG, it would be a snap.

    Great idea to add canvas if it's OK with you, since it's solid, it'll be quite easy.
    Nice and sharp eye and good catch light.

    I love this shot. Where in N. Illinois was this taken?

    Thanks, Fabs! :)

    I already did the extra canvas thing...took 3 minutes and helps with the comp IMO.

    I'm glad she didn't thrust her beak out the other side of the frame. I bet it does look better with the added canvas...

    This is a female?

    The only turkeys I've known were featherless! :D

    The added canvas does help...thanks for commenting, Robert.:)
