You did a really great job here - nice gradual movement from sorta-sharp to smoothly blurred. I really like how all three give us a different point of view - straight on, partial profile and full profile!

No vote, but this did come up in my first 100 for comment. :-) Lovely shot, with not-overdone color, great bokeh, and a good comp to show off this guy. I love the detail on the wing.

Just a touch of manual sharpening on the body and it's ready for an Encyclopedia!

Coming to visit the originals from the Deja Vu III challenge:

I absolutely love the stunning colors seen on this Master of the Chicken Coop! The colors are bold and vibrant. Your PP did wonders with making the colors pop off the page. I also like how you caught the rooster in an interesting pose with it's head cocked to look behind him. Your photo is also sharp as a tack for we see all the lovely details from sheen on the end of his tail feather to some of the bumpy textures in the coxcomb (crest on his head. The square crop suits the bird well for it keeps the eye strongly focused on the body of the rooster. Well done.
