Red Jungle Fowl is very colorful bird. It is so gorgeous that pictures can hardly justify it’s beauty.

Wow this is a stunning bird especially shining in the sun like this. Very nice pose you captured with the profile view and raised crest on the head. Brilliant coloring. I’ve never seen one so I can’t really comment on the realism of the colors. Nice image!
Dazzling! I’ve seen domestic roosters display some dramatic plumage, but had no idea they had a more wild counterpart. Possibly some breeding going on there somewhere back in time? Either way this is a terrific portrait of a stunning bird. Those spikes look lethal.
Yes, a wonderful shot of the “original rooster”. One minor point strikes my eye: would it have been possible to include a bit more of the leaves along the bottom as it looks a bit tight there?
Gorgeous and well captured! I had no idea there were wild cousins of our Bantam roosters that look like this! I guess I assumed they were some sort of designer product.
