Hi, Jo! Let's see if I can be of some help. I made my own set of criteria for this. First, I eliminated anything with obstructions. This killed #'s 4 & 12. Then I went for the holding of interest. This killed #'s 1,2, 3, 5, & 10.
Now let me say why I killed the owl pic. He tended to blend too much with the background; especially his head.
Now for the hard part; the rest of the turkey shots. They are so cool. We will start with #9. As cool as it is, it seems too busy (if this makes any sense) and once again, the background seems to blend too much.
Here comes #11. Another nice shot but it looks like a stuffed and mounted turkey superimposed over a background.
#7. Just not vivid enough. This is all I can say even though I like it.
Why do I pick #6? It seems to fall in the category of not holding interest, but it does hold interest. Look at all of the factors and the criteria that you set forth. All of the colours are vivid and sharp & clean I am speaking of all; the red, the bark the snow, and even the background.
The lighting is perfect! It is like I am standing right then, right there. I know the exact angle of the sun not by just looking at the shadows but by how it reflects in the snow and how the light rolls off of his back.
The last important factor to me was how the background is separated from the subject with almost a 3D effect, None of the others have it to this degree.
Combining all of these factors for each and every photo is why I settled on #6. For those of us who like all the action such as in the turkey shots, does not necessarily make for a great shot. This of course, is just my opinion.
I hope I was of some use.

That, sir, is an impossible task!!! They all, (as usual) are exceptional. But I personally like 5, 6, 10, 11, and 12. Lucky grandchildren. Thanks for the treat of looking at your beautiful photos. If I have to pick just one... it would be #6...
You are one of the kindest Susy.
Thank you for your vote. It's much appreciated.

This is a hard one, Joe, but I'd have to choose #8.
