The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

I was out back yesterday morning and observes some turkeys that came in for a bird bath drink, and while I had this guy in my crosshairs he gave me a head-on stare. I got a kick out of his hair do.

Specific Feedback

I cropped him slightly off center to the left, just because. Does it work for you like this?

LOL! Excellent head-on catch! Turkeys are so gorky…
The crop and off-centering works perfectly for me.
Neat catch!

Very cool image, Dave. The head-on view has a lot of intensity.

HI Dave, the cropping works for me here and the straight on pose is great. Details look stellar. Well done.

Excellent facial detail and great stare he’s giving you.

Hi Dave
Maybe he is just sad about loosing some his close friends, it’s’ been a tuff couple of months for Turkeys. Very nice photograph.
