Looks like the lady has a couple of interested guys to choose from, Allen. Excellent detail and I like the display poses of the males and the disinterested look of the female.

We have wild turkeys roaming my neighborhood, but don’t often see the males displayin, so kudos to getting two in the same frame. Good color and detail in both images, but the second is my favorite.

Very nice captures. I favor the subjects composition in that first one. It always amazes me how how the toms can transform from a very ordinary bird into a spectacular look in mere seconds.

Great set of images Allen. I think I prefer the second one of the two males and the female completely ignoring the males. You have really good light angles and tail feather angles in the second image and all three sets of eye. A pleasing background as well. They sure are a nuisance but when the males are strutting their stuff, they look awesome.
