    I'd crop it in more to bring more attention to the turkey in focus. I don't think you need the top and right space.

    Fun picture though

    Ha... they don't even look real, more like dressed-up characters for a cartoon.

    I think it's a great shot, though somewhat limited by the lack of focus on the rear bird. The exp and colors are interesting too, very neutral overall but with the touch of red, which really stands out.

    Or for Bernard Matthews the caption "I told you I was ill ... achoo !"

    I'd crop the top, those near vertical bars are to distracting for me.

    I like it and agree on the crop the top.LOL. You will find the zoom seems to have a narrower DOF than your stock lens. Put that baby in manual and raise the F/Stop a bit. Nice picture,

    Re: Dinner

    Good moment captured. I do not mind the bg bird slightly soft here, but as Greg says closing the aperture will sharpen the bg some more. A crop from the top and right side is a good idea , to bring the viewer into the "meat" of the shot.
