Hi Dave,

Looks more like a dancing rooster... :))
Great lighting and colours! If he's not too careful, he may find himself being barbequed at the next picnic... :)
Well done mate!

Hi good shot with good details the title pretty boy is fit to the photo cos the upper part of the tail white and looks like mirror if you mean what i want to say bye Shimon

Why did the chicken cross the road?
Nice sharp rooster, great POV and good light
well done,
Shelby

Hello David,
Wow! I like that proud bird!
Works well to expose in backlight here, as you avoid that harsh lighting on the fine plumage...
Good details and a great posture, the bird is well framed!
Greetings,
Pablo -

good morning light for the rooster ! reminds me a lot of bali !

Hi David, this is a very pretty boy indeed and so proud :) Great close-up of him walking down the street by a sunny day looking for women ;))

Hello David
His gracious majesty took an air of dignity, rizing slightly a foot and presenting to you a full face!
A crown ornated with rubis and a flamboyant train enlighted from behind!
I take a bow and quit, walking backwards!
G'day
Robert
