He's a ugly thing but has some amazing colors.

You need to show the "amazing colors", the eye looks dead without a catchlight,The patch of light on the floor and orange fringe on bottom of bird,needs to go,and the crop is too tight on the full image.Backlighting needs to be better controlled/manipulated.Ken

You're using RGB rather than sRGB which is making the colors look dull when you post here.

I know I should have controlled the light but that appeared to be the turkey's job. He didn't like the poster board we were waving around at him so when I got him stopped in the shade i took my opportunity.

I have done the editing ken said i needed (and why i can't see these things before someone points it out i don't know)and have changed the color to sRGB. Do I need to do more?

Thank you for the info. I wondered why they looked better on my hard drive than on the server and that wont happen again.

Is the turkey good to go?

No-the turkey's head is dead central in the frame and the background is too cluttered-try filling the frame-suggested crop:

Thanks, I couldnt crop it as tight as suggested and keep it above 4,000,000. This looks way better though, I appreciate all the help.

Would this be one for my 2nd attempt at 10

I would advice against it unless you have a turkey that looks like this
