Pheasant by bluemoon

Pheasant

This is it, this is all I could come up with today....one of a small group of Ring Necked Pheasants foraging in the snow covered cornfield this afternoon as we drove by! There were a couple of Roosters and a female or two but of course they flew off into nearby bushes as soon as we got close so I couldn't get a decent shot at him. I had to do some serious cropping on this guy!
Wait . . . what do you mean by this is all I could come up with? This is awesome and I love the postage stamp framing. Great job, Paula!

@barbsmith Thanks Barb....I had to crop it so much I thought it ended up looking like one of those fake birds you buy at the garden centers....kinda like those hideous plastic flamingos!!! :)

Gorgeous markings! The post office may want to buy your photo after seeing this!

Very pretty, and nice editing with the framing you added.

It has an old fashioned look. Like an Audubon photo. I love the way he is walking and looking - classic.

This is a stunning composition, Paula. Wonderful detail! Nothing "plastic flamingo" looking about this regal bird.

Beautifully presented Paula. ...and that framing! Wow!

You did a great job turning a "not so great" shot into a fantastic shot. Perfect processing

Love the details on the bird and the framing. Nice!

Cool shot, and the way you've cropped and framed it, it truly looks like it could be a postage stamp!!! I think you should lobby the USPS to buy it from you... :)

I see definite stamp potential here! Great shot and idea!

I love the stamp treatment. Excellent.

love how you framed him & how he stands out against the white. Nice pic.

It's amazing but we have been seeing fewer and fewer of these around our area.

Fabulous shot . . . he looks quite regal!
