Beauty! I like how you can see the furry legs/feet. Can't figure out how that perch is supporting such a plump bird.

Best,

Matt

Great shot. Like the BG and detail, esp. the feet!
Beautiful bird but looks like a cross between a chicken and a pigeon, to me.

Really great image Alan. I will say however that to me the head looks a little soft compared to the rest of the body (but better when I click to the larger version) . Where was your focal point here?

Focal point was on the head.
