Wild Turkeys

I made this picture a couple of weeks ago just after a fresh snowfall. When I saw the turkeys I decided I wanted to try and make a picture of them in the natural landscape they thrive in. Please check the larger version for best look.

Nick: Had to look a little to see the turkeys but what a wonderful scene and they make a real nice addition. I can imagine them talking to each other and strutting around. 2 thumbs up! >=))>

A nice addition indeed, those turkeys slightly hidden in the woods. I think I might be tempted to crop a bit of the bottom, the large piece of white is a bit too dominating for me. The snow on the trees is great for accentuating their shapes, that looks really nice.
