I have tried, I don't know how many times, to get a good artistic image of a rooster ring-necked pheasant without much luck. We have them in the yard and pasture; but, they are just so darn spooky. I got this one today and it's alright. The second he saw me and the camera he was off and running. Depth of field is just a little too narrow and his head is just a bit out of focus. Oh well, it is a challenge and one of these days I'll get it all right in a pheasant photo.
