Happy belated birthday Carter. I hope the chicken did not pooh on you. Great colours, details and great focus in the chicken. Great view of the leg, such long nails. The little farmer looks quite pleased.

What an awesome shot. He looks very at ease with his chicken. Reminds me of the little boys at the old horse farm where I was at. He is a handsome young guy. Great job, focus, colors, initial impact all perfect.

What a great shot for the family album. "Crater" will like this shot as he gets older for sure. The chicken, not so much.

The background works also for a family album shot, as it provides a historic record of the feeding area, the cage? and the milk cartoon Carter just drank from, maybe.


So there is a great opportunity for a "fine art" image here.

How about taking Carter away from the background, more to a neutral background, then using a small aperture, blur it.

Carter then could gaze at the chicken instead of at the camera, maybe capture his awe or affection for it.

I see the red on the head of the chicken complementing Carter's red T shirt quite nicely.

A boy and his chicken, how could people not melt. :)
