Hedgerow Fruits with Pheasant
by Gary Hickin
SMC A 50mm 1.7
This is quite common subject matter along with hares, rabbits, various birds, and even deer in traditional still life paintings. We are quite rich in wildlife where we live but I would never think of killing anything on purpose, especially for photographic purposes.
Gary, I understand and respect your views on this subject. While the photo is technically excellent, I find it disturbing personally (and I am not a vegetarian).

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!

And what's more, I think that the bird would probably consider it an honour to perish for such a worthy cause.
Indeed, I do wonder if perhaps it deliberately chose YOUR car to attach itself to!
All the gear & no idea.

Gary
As others have said, composition & lighting is great
