After success on my Goulds turkey hunt in southern AZ (see turkey forum for story), I went back out to photograph some gobblers. I was able to stalk within 50 yards of this tom as he and his hens fed up a hillside. Taken with Nikon 300mm f/4.

Man! Almost unlimited iridescence to capture there. Thanks for the look,

I was wishing I was about 20 yards closer to get better feather detail, but I was standing out in the open and did not want to move and spook him.

The last pic is very well composed & suitable for framing.
