King Tut aka

[ied]

Barnyard rooster. Aptly named as he escapes the pen and struts about
in an attempt to lure " the ladies" to come and join him.
All cc welcome .

Beautiful! Gorgeous colours and wonderful detail. King Tut looks very regal (aptly named)

If able to photograph him again and again, try to have him facing you without the fence in the background.

Gorgeous image!

Nicely done.

What a well groomed fella Irene, well captured and wonder how easy it would be to get him to pose facing you.

Irene,

Photography is right up your sleeve. A sharp, nicely saturated, well exposed image.
You got a very good eye for composition.

Keep it coming!

Irene....he is so beautiful....your shot made it more so. Over your way, do you need to have a farm to have those kind of birds in your backyard? Is King Tut your alarm clock? We used to have a lot of these when we were young but then we live in a big farm...I know it is 4am when they make a noise...

Thank you Graham. As for capturing him facing me, may not be too easy as a chicken tends to look at you with one eye
and it's head turned to the side. But I will persist as I like challenges.

Thank you Izzie. Animals are not allowed within the town limits- but then we live out in the country where there is wildlife as well as domestic. We have elk, deer, bear, cougar, coyote, and moose in the area.

Hi Irene,

Just to say that it is not so easy or always possible to capture critters facing you and/or looking at you. Your image is beautiful as captured!

Aren't you scared with all those wildlife roaming around your property? Plenty of photoshoot opportunities there but how do you protect your chooks from the coyote?

I agree with the others that a cleaner background would be preferable, but I like the pose as it adds to your title and words that he struts around - you have captured that well with him at this angle
