 Found this ugly little fellow to be quite fascinating with his bright red wattle and blue noggin. Fully expect this one to bomb since it's not your typical DPC eye candy bird shot, but loved it! Guy just has so much character!

Personally, hoping for a +6.000 score, but anticipate I'll get marked down for:

1)no detail in the eye.
2)out of focus head
3)narrow DoF with regards to the feathers on the far side of the head.

This was my outtake for the challenge. Pretty sure it would've scored much better..think it's more DPC "eye candy"

I am absolutely stunned by this. Never in all my submissions have I ever seen an entry go up like this. Started out at 5.9 and has slowly gone up over the week. Peaked at 6.7 which absolutely shatters my previous PB!!

So thrilled with my turkey!

Thanks Bear_Music vawendy yo_spiff for comments and suggestions!!

Challenge End:
Very happy with my score and a new PB by a fair margin! Extremely thrilled to have placed 16th overall out of +300 entries! Thanks to all the voters and those that took the time to comment.
