Two Toms

I got lucky yesterday and had a flock of turkeys come thru our backyard yesterday when I was back there waiting for something to photograph. It’s the time of year when the toms are showing off for the gals. Here’s a pose I snagged.

Specific Feedback Requested

I had to get up and back away to get this shot as I had too much glass for their distance. Is it just too tight, or does is survive?

Technical Details

Is this a composite: No

A beautiful capture Dave and your waiting paid off. Looks like they’re lined up for the Easter Parade, ha ha. Exposure is fine, with lots of details in the feathers. Not a deal-breaker but I would like to see a little more room for them on the right and bottom, but a fine catch overall.
