Perhaps the best Pheasant image I've seen. Love the feeling of action implied by the ruffled feathers and flying leaves.

A wonderful shot Aki, most unusual. I agree with Hans - it certainly is one of the best I have seen too.

Pheasants are beautiful birds but a fluffy one flapping his wings like this is just spectacular. Love that tail up and the wing feathers pattern shown... even the blown leaves! :) Excellent, Aki!!!
