Baby and pet rooster

In a village in Lombok.............

A slight crop at right of the two pieces sticking into the frame and this would be perfect

Alec, The low camera angle you chose places the curb at a very stategic height, just concealing the 'bare' essentials & at least partially preserving your subject's dignity:) A fine result for your efforts! Best, LM.

Thanks Ken / Len for your comments. I didn't want to manipulate the picture which is why there are some distracting 'sticks'. The picture is also cropped froma much larger one hence the poorer resolution.

No frame please very distracting. Nice shot

OK I'll use a simple b/w frame.

Alec better now?

Cheers

Alec, you'll do wonderful justice to this image by converting it to monochrome. If your software/plugins allow, I suggest a blue filter, thus...

 

Gary, not bad at all but where's the hen? How about this new attachment? Should I post it in color or b/w? The baby is more cute and background just as colorful.

 

Or B/W?

BW gets my vote on both counts. Cheers --pc

Thanks Pawel

I remember this cage for hen in Jogiakarta

This is a very good and lovely shot!!!!

What an expression! Very nice Alec, I like both babies. The B&W of both is wonderful. Such an eye!

I really like this picture. The baby with the rooster looks very mature. His face and eyes do not look like those of a normal child.

Alec, in this image I barely notice the hen hidden in the quite visible basket. To me the toddler and his eyes are the stars of the show, so to speak, and the baskets add visual context, but the hen is visually tangential although certainly meaningful to the child. As for the other photo, that pail and the immodest view and hands positioning...

Come to think of it you're right John, he looks mature. Gary, yes I'm lucky to catch his expression and raised eyebrow at the right moment. Do check out my new postings from Bali!

Another excellant picture, look forward to more.

I like the colors! Great pose

Very good photo, I like all vesions!

I much prefer the color version. Also, the image may be a bit oversharpened. Overall, very nice work.

I like the color version of your original posting - you can see the rooster, although you have to look closely, but I think that adds interest when you want to "explore" an image. In the b&w version, you can't even make out the bird at all. In the second one you are going to post, I like both versions.

Thank you everyone for the positive comments. I know the quality is not that great as it's a cropped image. I'm glad that this photo is accepted more for it's overall composition and presentation of a look at living in a village in Lombok.

I was pretty sure that this one was going to be a winner! Congrats!!!
