Background contrast and brightness adjusted, subject adjusted separately. Hue and saturation adjusted, selective dodge and burn, Highpass filter. Cropped and sharpened.
The shadows effectively draw attention to the tail feathers, so I decided to leave them.
Thanks to Gracie, the chicken wrangler, and Chloe, the model (a sweet little bird)!

Beautiful image. This proves that chickens can have expressions :) This image has an incredible diagonal feel to it (I know, it's the other challenge). I really like this one. ~9
I love your photograph and the detail/lighting is so nicely done. The red face really stands out, as does your image! Chickens are interesting-looking animals.
