Looks pretty good to me digi, superb setting and lovely detail and tones. I have Quail on my property but they hide out in the long grass until I almost step on them then scare the beejezuz out of me when they flush.

A fantastic photograph of the Cali Quail. I have been trying to get one here in NZ without any luck. Well done!
