Speakin' of ugly...

It's turkey season. It's a good thing that they are tasty!

I saw Phil's "ugly is as ugly does" post and thought that this could be the second entry into the ugly bird category.

Thoughts, comments, and critiques are appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Might be an ugly bird, but an excellent image of it!! Love the details in the bird. That background really is interesting. Nicely done.

You certainly got a great closeup photo of this young tom. The detail is superb, great pose, and the BG is very complementary. Excellent work on this.

Very nice profile closeup portrait Jerry, excellent detail, DOF, & clarity.
I especially like the attractive layered colors of your BG..
A bit of sensor spot cleanup & it's there

Cool portrait Jerry. Nice colours and background and the large image is good and sharp.

Thanks everyone. I noticed the dust spots after I posted..... a little tired I guess. Clean up has been done. I appreciate your C&C.
