The Big Chicken towers above a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant at a busy intersection in Marietta, GA, north of Atlanta. I tried several perspectives of the intersection, but telephone poles and utility wires detracted from the view. Levels, hues, cloned out a distracting airplane, USM, and NI.

Nicely done. Clean and crisp. Only comment. . . I might have gotten rid of the moon. It seems that for all the boldness of this shot your eye is drawn to the moon. BOL Still a 6
i hope ya'll had fun. i wonder how many viewers are going to notice the bird eating the moon? that makes this one the best of the bunch for me. i'm not one to believe in conspiracy theories, but i really would have expected 3 or more images of the washington monument before 3 of these.
Godzilla vs. The Big Chicken tonight o ESPN sports! I'll bring the beer and you bring the nachos.
Seriously though, interesting idea. Although I've never heard of the Big Chicken I think it's pretty freaky. It reminds me of when I was in South Carolina and saw this massive fire hidrant. I actually have photos of it I'll see if I can dig them up.
I love the shadows and simplicity of this photo. I do find the treetops distracting. I'd prefer more trees or none at all. Either a tighter crop or a wider angle could add a few points to an otherwise fine photo.
Very nice angle...amazing that there are three of us that picked out the Big Chicken as our Landmark shot! Someone somewhere will wonder what the hell's going on in Atlanta! Like this close up approach and super clear image with trace of the moon. Nice touch.
hehehe... there are three photos of this thing here... why is he so popular ? :P. I like the colours - but a closer crop around the head would be better.
THe moon should have been cloned out - it adds nothing but distraction. the branches are distracting as well - they hurt the graphic nature of the big chicken's color and lines.
