Wow! What a colorful and unique looking bird. The colors are bright and eye catching. Good clarity and lighting. Good DOF and framing with great initial impact. Well done. Good luck in the contest. ~Alveria

Great capture of this species. Vivid colors and the pose is about as good as it get unless you get really lucky. This has great eye appeal. Best of fortune in the contest.

A wonderful picture of this Golden Pheasant as it was attempting to escape from you & the camera. The light falling on it's golden crown hair like feathers making them glow against it's orange & black neck feather that it has puffed up. It's golden eye drawing you to look more closely at it's face & beak. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.
Susan

This is a very colorful pheasant and he looks like he doesn't want to be messed with. I love the focus and he is framed very well. There is not one thing that needs to be changed with this photo. JackJr.
