| 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?
Nice work,
Debbi

| 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. |

Gorgeous tones, perfect bg and the pose is regal. Excellent capture.
Good luck! bump up
Had another look...this isn't a rooster, is it? Oh, well. Still a beautiful capture and one of my top picks. ;) |

| 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. |
