 I realize this ugly little bird may turn off some voters, but with the animal choices I had, I wanted to shoot something a little different, a bit of a challenge and I definitely didn’t want any “cute” votes. Getting this close to the turkey was certainly a humourous challenge; I had to contend with a rather enamored male turkey that took my presence as competition. In the end I was only able to get 3 shots, before the male herded the female away and aimed a few pecks my way.

And Ben Franklin wanted this to be the National Bird of the USA. Ouch! Like the tight crop on this shot - focus could have been better.

Noisy background, smaller DOF would make the bird stand-out.

Not a puppy, but it sure is fuzzy and cute! I hope you didn't eat it... Look at that soulful eye!

Great capture of his texture, but his eye seems hollow. Good composition.

Nicely shot, but that is one UGLY bird! Lighting from behind works very well, in my opinion.

It certainly isn't. I like the contrast between the clear features of the head and the blurry background. Nice.

Nope, not a puppy, but it looks like my 3rd grade teacher. After she tweezed her nose. Let's see this again about November this year...
