I found this shot....one that I took as I walked a wide birth from behind them to about 60 feet/20 meters in front of them....

Not as "clean" as the others but it shows they were strutting before I got there.....

Very cool! I like the first couple of shots. It looks like one is standing next to a mirror.

Very nice captures! The toms haven't started strutting here yet. Won't be long though.

Absolutely beautiful set. KUDOS.


Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.
