Larry this just doesn't do anything for me. The composition seems mis-balanced to me with the feet so close to the edge. The detail and color in the body are good but the head seems a little soft.

The white edge of the frame bothers me. It's distrating.

I meant distracting.

Hmmm. Something is off about this photograph. One is the light being relatively flat, which you can do nothing about. From your stated shutter speed, I'm amazed this shot is as sharp as it is. Compositionally, I think it would benefit if it had been taken with you lower to the ground, because the almost-in-focus grass behind the female Turkey is distracting and reduces "pop". It would also be better if the bird was a little more to the left and top.
