I missed this post earlier …

When I scrolled down through your posts, I stopped and said to myself that, this bird has some attitude (in a positive manner of course).

We could feel elegance and pride from the way the birdy slightly turned it’s head with an upright posture…

The sharp DOF also helped in this image…

Thank you so much for sharing and this image is worth the effort, Takami 🙂

  Thank you so much Sreejith! I am very happy you were able to scroll down and see this shot!
  
  Yes, it is as you say – this female Pheasant had quite an attitude! Usually they are quite skittish but she was full of confidence. Thank you again, for your visit and comment. Let’s continue to stay safe!

  Thank you! Yes, this is a female green pheasant – Japan’s national bird. The males have bright green and red colors, but I love the subtle brown of the ladies 🙂

Mrs. Pheasant seems to be enjoying her stroll very much, Takami. Or should I say Queen Pheasant? She has a very regal appearance and seems to be surveying her surroundings with a slightly haughty air.

  Pheasants are quite shy, but she seemed to enjoy a quiet early morning stroll before heading back to the reed fields. She is beautiful, and I think she was aware of it 🙂

  This is a female “green” pheasant. I have featured male Green pheasants a few times, and thought it was about time to introduce the ladies too 🙂
  
  As you know, pheasants are quite shy, but she seemed to enjoy a quiet early morning stroll around the neighborhood before heading back to the reed fields. I am relieved she avoided traffic and crows.

Is that one of the babies?

  This is a fully grown female green pheasant. A different bird from the babies (who are called “little grebes”) but very shy and beautiful 🙂

  Hello Mr P, so lovely to have you stop by 🙂
  Thank you for your comment – it was nice to play around with composition for this image. The female green pheasant (quite usually!) didn’t appear to mind my presence. I do hope she knows how admired she is 🙂
