Thanks to the judge for choosing my image today and thanks to those who stop by later. I've been keen to photograph this particular bird the Pheasant Coucal. Unfortunately they are very flighty birds and was never fast enough to capture one. Then luck struck and two moved onto my property and I've been able to photograph them quite often.

Outstanding capture Chrissy! Great detail, DOF, color and composition. Congratulations on this wonderful POTD!

Very nice techniques used to highlight the grand multi colored feather detail & the wonderful textures in the wood as well. Excellent full frame capture of this remarkable bird with lovely DOF as well. Congrats, Chrissy, on a fine piece of artistic beauty!

This is really beautiful. Your light touch with the post processing has turned a great image into an outstanding one. Congratulations.

Terrific and lucky capture for you, Chrissy! Would this be the female of this type of pheasant? I agree your treatment of this makes it outstanding! The detail in it's face and eye are superb! Congrats on your wonderful win today!

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments and congratulations. Renee, I believe this is possibly the male. I saw this one and the other together and the other one was larger. The female is bigger than the male. However, neither are breeding as they haven't changed colour.

How lucky you were to capture this beautiful Pheasant Coucal especially considering the quickness of its flightyness. You did a remarkable job with the detail in the feathers and a wonderful pose...congratulations on your win today!
