winter pheasant, a photo from Rhone Alpes, South

Photographer's Note

During hunting time, pheasants are animals rather difficult to approach.
This one had stayed unconsciously at the edge of a road and luckily for him, i shot him with my 70-200 rather than a gun ;)

Hello Olivier,
very talented in modelling this pheasant was, obvoiusly :-) Great capture and nice DOF with elegantly blurred background to outline the bird. Nice and natural colors!
Regards
Kamila

Bonjour Olivier

C'est pourquoi on nous appelle CHASSEURS d'image!
Bon décadrage pour avoir également le pied de l'arbre, la faible profondeur de champ tend à faire disparaitre les barbelés, et comme il était parallèle à ton "film", il est entièrement net.
J'aime bien aussi l'éclairage léger et latéral qui révèle le givre sur les herbes.
Bon WE
CLODO

Bonjour Olivier
La netteté est là où il faut et j'aime bien l'harmonie des couleurs entre les feuilles du premier et les raies bleues noyées dans le flou.
Bonne journée
Amicalement

Hi Ollvier
The sharpness is where it should be and I like the color harmony between the sheets of the first and blue stripes embedded in the dark. i like your gallery too.
have a nice sunday
