Peruvian Rooster portrait (domestic)

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Back in 2015 I crossed paths with a few Peruvian chickens in a village on the Amazon. This rooster stood out and gave me several nice poses. C&C welcome.

D4S, Nikon 500mm f4/G + 1.4 TC, 1/640s, f 6.3, ISO 800, Gitzo, Wimberley Gimbal head.

Cropped for composition.

Nice sharp details

[Glenn Pure]

Nicely executed and processed with wonderful detail. My only suggestion might be to crop a little differently so there was more on the left of the frame (if available)?

Thanks Glenn. Here's a repost with more on the left. My original post back in 2015 was closer to this. Not sure why I cropped that tight on left.

Pretty nice portrait Geoffrey, I changed the title to indicate a domestic bird

WOW! The IQ and details are very impressive. The BG compliments the red perfectly.
Love the repost.

I love it! Especially the repost. Awesome details and colours.

[John Mack]

Really nice detail here. Like the second image more than the first.

[Bill Dix]

Excellent detail, nice comp in the repost, good HA, and the bird stands out nicely against the darker background.

[Gerhard Weldhagen]

Another vote for the repost. The detail and sharpness is outstanding.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Thanks everyone.

I'm the outlier here in that I vote for the original crop. The detail is incredible!

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Thanks Doug. The tighter crop gives him a slightly better posture.
