Mad Rooster

A fun one to start with on a Monday. This guy was strutting around the backyard and I was shooting with my 75-300. He turned around quickly, and really wasn't coming at me, as it looks. I just snapped fast and got a very blurry shot. But the expression is great, so I decided to use the shot anyway ... and just filtered away the fuzz. :-) Can you almost hear the Rocky-esque theme music starting to play as this guy comes toward you in slow motion?

This is the original, blurry shot.

This is the old guy, in profile.

Any comments or ratings are always appreciated. :-)

Sarah - get this ... my first anonymous rating on this image is A4/O5. WHAT!?

Lou Ann - is this my sister's rooster walking around in their yard on Bogoe here turned into art?

 

As far as I know this proud rooster is not to be found among my sister's poultry anymore. He was to agresive to the miniature poultry so he has moved.

 

I think this is funny and a good choise to make him 'painterly'.

Yes, Bente - this is definitely Alis' rooster. I have several shots of her hens/roosters ... but this shot would have been my favorite if it had turned out in focus. :-)

This shot cracks me up! The music startled me, then made me smile :) How did you do that?

Sorry to startle you ... it was an html command that I embedded in the original comment. The theme just seemed SO fitting. LOL!! :-)

ohhhhhhhhhh LAA, you have to say to people they put the speakers on, because I hadn't, and now I understand some comments... and the wings are waving on the music ;D

LOL, Lou Ann, I'm still laughing...the rooster with that music is a winner, and never mind the rating .

That plucked chicken with the wings flapping cracked me up! :P Nice addition!

The raging rooster is coming to get you! Nice bit of PS work to retrieve the blur situation. He does look threatening!
