gerard_dsouza 0 Posted May 28, 2004 Very nice capture! the background and foreground sem a bit extraneous. hav you tried doing a panoramic crop? Link to comment
salvatore.mele 1 Posted May 28, 2004 I also think a panoramic crop would make it a more powerful image: all the other main elements are indeed horizontal lines: the "bridge" and the queue of "followers" Link to comment
mareval 1 Posted May 28, 2004 Ha,ha! very pleasant. Good composition, light, color, definition and that moment shot is really GOOD. I think the image you´ve captured is complete. Congratulations. Regards. Link to comment
witolda_maruszewska 0 Posted May 28, 2004 I like this - it does have a certain amusement factor about it, doesn't it? :-) This shot is off-beat and different which, humour aside, makes it just so appealing. I do agree about cropping it slightly to draw more attention to the chickens and perhaps it could be a little bit sharper but other than that, it is a good effort! Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted May 28, 2004 That is soooo funny !!!That cock didn't hear about feminism............ Great capture! Pnina Link to comment
daryl walter 0 Posted May 28, 2004 Brilliant! This picture looks great and tells a story too. Good job of getting all the hens in the frame on the right. Well done! Link to comment
ricky_subianto 0 Posted May 28, 2004 unbelievable composition.. this is fantastic. looks like the hens don't believe the bridge until the rooster can cross it. the power of rooster in the middle of bridge, reflection, and the group of hens make this picture perfect. and a little humour make it sweet Link to comment
carsten_ranke 0 Posted May 28, 2004 Unbelievable shot, I would rate it 10/10... To be at the right place at the right moment, to have your camera at hand and to be on the alert. Anticipate the situation and then make the photo exactly at the right moment... This photo is one of the best I have seen here on PN. Congrats, Carsten Link to comment
allendmadison 0 Posted May 28, 2004 I disagree with those that think you should crop this picture. It is the whole picture that tells the story. It is perfect as it is, and, as others have mentioned, one of the best ever on Photo.net. Link to comment
nichols 0 Posted May 28, 2004 They may take our eggs, but they'll never take our FREEEEEEEDOMMMMMM!!!!! I love this shot! This is a great moment. Link to comment
marcin harla 0 Posted May 28, 2004 Another vote for slight panoramic crop. Overal great picture 6/7 Link to comment
cálico 0 Posted May 28, 2004 What a fantastic "catch" on your part! This is hilarious! I'm looking at the rooster and I can visualize him proudly strutting confidently across the river, knowing that his "harem" will follow even though they may be hesitant. This photo DOES tell a story, my friend. I really think you've got something here that you should capitalize on. Good show, by the way. I like it as it is. It gives the viewer a bit of time to look around until the image finally catches the senses and... BAM, the impact of the image hits the viewer! Link to comment
floh 0 Posted May 29, 2004 what an amazing shot! I wouldn't name it like that though. to explizit. it kills the amazing potential of humor this photo offers for me :) i like it a lot! Link to comment
roger_stevens 0 Posted May 29, 2004 This is the third time youve posted this shot that I know of. Just curious, is theyre something to gain from yet another critique of the same image? Link to comment
auke bonne van der weide 0 Posted May 29, 2004 I ripped all my photos of photo.net, due to illegal copies and publications. Just thought to bring this one back though. Had so many positive reactions to this photo, not only at the net, at my home in the real world as well. Just brought it back to please some of photo.net visitors, which initially gave raise to the impact this photo has. Nothing more, nothing less (just a tribute to photo.net i guess, not about an addiction to be rated or commented on). I agree about the panoramic crop, but hey this one is shot on a 35mm slide, not with xpan............ I like it as it is. Link to comment
