Pheasants have to be one of the most beautiful birds in the world.

Just a picture of grass? That's weird. (Just kidding - nice shot! Fits challenge well.)

Truly great challenge entry. Fantastic focus on the pheasant, excellent background to show how well his camo works, really like this one. Good luck

Like this shot, great image quality and very fitting for the challenge. Only to nitpick, there is a straw in the bottom right corner that is out of focus but still very distracting but no spot editing of course, I assume you would have removed if you had the option. 7 from me.

8 - Very good meet of the Challenge. Good coloring. Criticism; not much, maybe a different 'composition'/placing/crop, not sure. Maybe, a small frame, though not sure on that.

in habitat indeed! From this angle, one can certainly see why the ring-neck pheasant is colored as it is. Great picture for this challenge.
