::: Critique Club :::
Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.
How am I meant to do this .. you got the blue!
First Impression - the most important one:
I really thought this was cool ... such a true kiwi number 8 wire job.
Composition:
I discussed quickly with the lover .. and he said it wasn't sharp ... but I figure it is hard to make a chicken stay still!
Subject:
Meets the challenge with great gusto.
Technical (Colour and light):
I love the colours and natural lighting.
To grow its vote?:
Like you can!
Summary:
Bloody hell bandit you give us kiwis something to aim for ... :) well done.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Cheers
Kari

Okay, seriously. I love your chicken. But the sky! I am just blown away by the color! I am a newbie here, and to tech talk as well, so I didn't understand all of your descriptions. Did you use some sort of filter, or is the sky truly that blue???? Gorgeous!!
Fantastic job!!Message edited by author 2006-03-21 22:38:47.

This is a superb photograph on so many levels... And the title just makes it that much better!
It looks so natural and spontaneous that few would guess that it was so painstakingly set up. Even the slightly out-of-focus areas add to the illusion of it being one of those serendipitous "grab" shots - making it all the more fun to look at.
Excellent work and congratulations on your BLUE!

A unique shot. Probably difficult to replicate...truly remarkable. Great colors too and the composition suits the quirkiness and decisiveness of the scene.
Congrats. A favorite.

Does this mean you're giving the cat the bird ... and changing your nickname to "Chook"?
