Mrs. Ring-necked Pheasant


Looking at these and looking at the ones I posted a couple days ago where I was shooting blind...maybe I should continue shooting blind.


I was shooting from inside the car and could see my screen but these still feel a bit unfocused  to me.  Still, she is a beauty.

    Gorgeous photos! Detailed, too. You rarely see pheasants in Blogland.

    Looks focussed to me. The focus on my camera these days simply doesn't work anymore.

    How about, instead of saying these look unfocused, say they show how the female pheasant's colouring breaks up her shape and helps her blend into the background. I think that's all the problem is.

    Lovely photos, Rose. You could use one of them for next year's Christmas cards.

    Yes, it happens for me many times and it’s not easy to give up when the subject was impressive!

    Oh, what a pretty pheasant, Rose. I don't see those kind around here. Our pheasants look very different.

    Have a good week.
