Amazing!!! I've had one or two roosters wake me up in my time, but none ever came close to waking the senses the way your 'Rooster' did early this morning. Better than coffee. It got a loud WOW! as it opened and pose majestically on my screen. Lighting, color, clarity, composition, tweaking etc. all 10+++ My laptop has been in for repairs so I could not give you an offical 10 and even with the BLUE I couldn't close without giving you the praise you deserve!!! again WOW!

Congratulations Catherine. This photo is amazing! It's as if you handpicked the colour for the background. I love how its blurred just right. The bird itself is exquisite!

Of course he was cooperative. He thought you were the representative from Top Cock magazine. Congrats on the blue. I knew it'd do well as soon as I saw it. I'm kinda partial to that lens myself.

wonderful color and great b/ ground

Colors on this are wonderful; not oversaturated to my eye, and the green in the background doesn't compete with the rooster. Like the composition with the rooster's head and neck paralleling (sp?) the curve of the tail. Nice job.
Post actions
this looks fantastic! i love the clarity and the colours.

Excellecnt color, nice DOF & detail in the feathers - 9

Fantastic photo - if ONLY I could see the FULL rooster.
Post actions
Absolutely perfect detail. Very nice uncluttered background. Textbook perfect.8
Post actions
just stunning ... the colors you've captured are amazing ... my choice for a ribbon ... good luck ...
Post actions
Nice composition and colour work.
Post actions
Not sure why you have cropped off the feet. I'd also prefer a little more space to the left of the rooster, the crop is a little tight.
Post actions
Superbly captured - beautiful treatment of the colours (I'm assuming these have been enhanced in post - otherwise the lighting is just really great). Some might take issue with the fact that you've cropped his feet out - but I think it works without the distraction of ugly chicken legs. 9.
Post actions
Beautiful! Great light, focus, color. background, composition and clearly meets the challenge! Rooster is well represented here!! 10
Post actions
Never saw a finer rooster, great 3D look, those colors 10

I see a top 3 !! - Great saturation, sharpness, cropping and brilliant unobstructed background that normally lets a lot of DPC pix down.
Post actions
Great colors and focus throughout.

Striking image. I love it.

Excellent color and pose...wish we were able to see his feet.

Beautifully composed, vibrant colors that don't look overly-processed, good use of depth of field -- a nice surprise to find this at the very end of my photos to score.

Seems a bit cutoff at the bottom. Perhaps a little more space down there would help. Nice, clear, sharp image though.
Post actions
great colos … I think these rich tones will strike many a high votr. -My eye is beeging for a slight left shift but that's probably just me. 8
