Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hi Sharon,
A nice effort - I see what you mean about the gait. You've got a nice characterful chap in the frame, and some nce grainy wood. These, I would say, are the things that you would be wanting to show to your viewers. The lack of detail in the wood is a a big let-down for me. I think this is largely due to the straight-on POV. The first things that I noticed when I opened this shot was the how long and narrow the image was when the subject matter didn't really lean towards such an aspect ration. I'm assuming you went for this crop to include both Mike and the hens on the left. It might have been better to achieve this by shooting from further to the right - that would have brought the two closer together in your frame (and perhaps created soem shadows on the wood). It also would have allowed you to exclude the distracting green grass for the image.
It is my hope that these insights are helpful and constructive. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so. Good luck with future challenges.
Cheers
