Greetings from the Critique Club

GREAT rooster! Love his feet with their feathered pantaloons.

You have a wonderful subject, and if you get a chance, you might try shooting him from different angles to see what shows him off best. For example, you might get down to his level to try a shot. Since this guy isn't perfectly sharp, I'd also suggest bracketing your shots to get a really good one.

Finally, and you may have done this deliberately, it is just a touch distracting to see the vignetting on this image. If you're trying to put Mr. Rooster in the spotlight, my suggestion would be to make the vignetting even darker, but not so dark as to obliterate the background.

In any event, you have a delightful shot of a chicken who is supremely proud of himself, and probably you have a nice reminder of a pleasant day.

Great pic of the rooster but for some reason the grass is distracting.
