LOL, given the previous shot of Rhoda, I'm so glad she's closer to the egg than the pot pie! Congrats on a great shot.

I love this photo but for more than photographic reasons. I used to have a pair of Rhode Island reds which looked just like this one. Great portrait of a sentimental bird.

This is really beautifully lit. Would you please share the lighting setup (or a setup shot maybe). Also, what did you use for a background?

Congrats on the ribbon. Just a great chicken pic! (and yes, our chickens were all pets too, as were the turkeys, the guineas, the ducks, etc, etc.

Congrats, Shawn! This was one of my 10's. A question for you...what are you using as a background? A backlit burlap sack? Whatever it is, it works really well.

I've been trying for a while to get a decent shot of a friend's "exotic" chickens, bur haven't been able to get one to hold nearly still enough. Well done!

This is such beautiful processing. I love this photo. Congratulations on your prize :)!

You certainly "plucked" this ribbon out of a hat. The concept and the image are outstanding. That's a healthy looking hen BTW.

Is this Rhoda, Lefty, or yet another chicken? Terrific shot, and the title's hilarious. Congrats on the ribbon!

If only you had gotten the Rooster's full body in the shot, it would have been a 10 for me. Nice job anyway.

Extreme title to match the extreme pose. Lovely colors complimenting a poultry portrait. 8

I'm not sure I like the crop, but the vividness and sharpness are fantastic.

Pet? I'm a city girl, I never thought of this. Fantastic shot.

8 - Very nice. Like the 'flow' in the shapes of the feathers. Nice background and lighting. Framing works well. Up to 8 from 7.

Fabulous Browns in this image and certainly different

Great picture of a chicken, colors are warm and rich. Nice textures, I like the lighting as well.

Is this REALLY a pet?? Doesn't matter though - VERY skillfully done AND beautiful - never thought I would like a rooster this much!! 10

Wow. Light, tones, detail - all awesome. But it's the pose that seals the deal.

Beautiful...I can't believe I said that about a rooster. ;)

Wonderful color and texture choices. The background mirrors the feathers perfectly.

I love the rich, golden brown tone of this picture. Beautiful capture of all the layers of feathers.
Post actions
love the color of this .simple but very nice well done.
Post actions
oh gosh, how adorable is your model. his calm composure and elegant pose, whilst still looking interesting and have emotion in the eyes is outstanding. Oh and the photographer is pretty good too 10
Post actions
A nice example of color on color and a good-looking bird. Nice detail and lighting overall, though missing detail in the shadowed part of the bird. Not sure what I think of the crop; it seems a little off to have part of the legs but no feet and the crop going through the body and wing somewhat randomly.
Post actions
Nice job with color on color, the subject stands out despite being similar in color to the back drop. Unique pet, nice change from the dogs and cats.
Post actions
I don't know that I'd like having a chicken (or is it a rooster) as a pet, but I sure would like to be your pet if you can make a portrait as nice as this, haha. It's an excellent portrait.
Post actions
Oooo, I do love a good rooster shot. Very well done!
