Description

The Wild Turkey is indeed a wild bird of the North American Prairie and forest. Being a game bird, it is not always easy to get close enough to these guys.

This is for solidarity with his domesticated brothers and sisters. Not a good idea to be a farm turkey today.

Happy ThanksGiving.

i never noticed till now how strange these birds look. i think the background makes this look a bit confusing. since there's already plenty of colors and details on the bird itself, it gets a bit lost in the details of the grass and the background. but it's not your fault that it decided to pose there, so

Very nice shot, and the composition i very good, I like that you didn't centered in the middle of the image the main subject. The colours are also very fine, the gree background is great to make the reddish turkey stand out.
And the title is very good and really funny! Great choice! 9/9

Nice capture and composition. The turkey is very impressive in an ugly sort of way. Focus is pretty good but looks off just a little to me.

Easiest than a bee but rapid scatter movement! It can be frustrating after the bush trial you told me.
I agree for background: different aperture probably can be useful to blur more and distracting less!
Happy thanksgiving (it is not an Italian holiday but very famous)!
top score for me +8/8 (despite other top-ten concurrents that are scared to score any direct opponents)

Turkeys...as thick as a plank but just look at the one here, isn't it pretty?

Nice shot, agree that maybe some blur on background would be good (you can do that in photoshoppe) and maybe saturate the bird a little more. Nice shot otherwise!
