Hi Charlotte, I am smiling as I type this. Looks to me as Rod Stewart had a bad hair day and this is an amazing picture, and I thought I saw everything. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

Rod Stewart always has a bad hair day doesn't he??? Lol
Bob just likened Punk to Phyllis Diller, I hadn't heard of her so looked her up, and OMG the likeness is remarkable - eat your heart out Rod!
I so pleased my pic put a smile on your face Ray, you've made my day.

Hi Charlotte.. LOL - My apologies to Punk the Rooster but when I opened this post my immediate visual impression was of Phyllis Diller. A sixties TV personality who sported a hairdo much like your buddy and had a nose much like his beak.
I gotta say that it looks better on Punk than on her.
Excellent camera technique, framing, color and textures.
Well done and good luck in the contest... Bob

I didn't actually know who Phyllis Diller was, so looked her up online and OMG Bob, you are so right! It really made me laugh to see the likeness. Shame I didn't know when I named him, Diller would have made a pretty good name.
Oh and thank you very much for your great review - I nearly forgot in my mirth!

Comment from Jewell McChesney
Haha What a great portrait of this goofy looking rooster. What a guy! There are famous rockers trying to get that look with hair gels a d blow dryers! How cool to know he was a sweet pet that followed you around and liked being pet. :)
This is a fun portrait of your Punk Rocker Rooster. I would live to see one farther back from the camera but I'm sure catching a perfect pose is probably not easy.
Good luck in the contest!

Hi Jewell, thank you very much for your great review.
Yeah quite a look eh? And he doesn't even own any gel or a blow dryer!! Rod Stewart eat your heart out! Lol
The original did show much more of him including all his crown feathers, but I tried out various crops and plumped for this one - sorry.

Comment from Devonte Baker
Talk about bad hair day. This rooster is a mood we would all be in if we had a bad hair day. Excellent close on the rooster, I can feel his emotion through the picture. Great work, thank you for sharing!

Thanks Deonte, for your review. He wasn't actually in a mood at all, that just his normal expression - most people think like you do and are quite scared of him, but he's a real sweetie at heart!

Comment from orchidrn
This is such an unusual photograph, well taken. The focus and clarity are great showing wonderful detail of his feathered crown. The contrasted red jowls stand out well and make a statement. Good focus of the eye and beak. Does his crown feathers stay that way ir does he fan them out rather like peacock? A very interesting post of a rather unusual pet. Good luck in the contest!

Hi Michele, thank you very much for your wonderful review and high rating!
Yes, his crown feathers are permanently like that much to everyone's amusement.

Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn
I would've loved to have a chicken like this for a pet. However, I probably never get any work done because I'd be too busy playing with it. Love your close-up which really adds personality to this little guy. Well done thank you for sharing.

Hi Charlotte, I always say if you've got it, flaunt it! This guys is doing just that! LOL That is some head of feathers he's got! If those feathers were waterproof he's have a built in umbrella on the top of his head! Very cool shot that's loads of fun. Love the focus and lighting. You certainly know how to pick pets. GReat entry for the contest! Good Luck! Nancy

Ha ha I LOVE the umbrella idea!
Yes well I have had quite a range of pets over the years, including Alice my sheep, 2 jackdaws, rabbits galore, 2 pigs name Truffle and Strife (after the cockney rhyming slang Trouble and Strive = wife! Lol), and many many more...I like animals, does it show???? Lol
Oh and thank you very much for your great review Nancy - I nearly forgot!

Ha ha well Rod Stewart has a lot of female running after him and Punk has many similar traits!!!
Thanks for your good review Brian, though I'm not sure 'different' actually works very well in the contests here!!

Your title is perfect, this rooster has such wild hair, what a fun pet to have! I actually had a pet hen and was surprised at how intelligent she was!
Well captured with nice focus, this image is clear and your exposure is correct, colors and tones appear natural, I love his eye !
Well composed offering such a good look at his face, he actually has a proud expression!
Well presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

Hi Pat, and thank you very much for your great review. Chickens are such comical creatures and yes, as you said more intelligent than we give them credit for.
