Default HDR: Cluck Cluck

Photographers Comments
Deliberately left this one at the obscure angle it was taken. Gave it HDR treatment to boost sky etc.

Its one of those images where I like and some will hate, but hey, its fun to learn and experiment, LOL

Brilliant Mark! love the perspective this angle gives, and the HDR just gives it that bit extra... very well thought out.

Great idea and well shot, but I think the sky is a little overdone. Apart from that it's very good.

Very nice photo. Nothing to criticise really. I like the lighting which gets darker/shadowy from foreground to background. Very nice finish.
Cheers

Thank you for all your comments on this image, and am glad it is liked.

Rob, I see where you are coming from about the sky been to overdone, but that was the effect I was trying to get, trying to keep the hen in the background darkened out but not to the point of sillouhette. Its definitely one of my more obscure images though.. .LOL

Again, peeps thanks for the comments, appreciate them

Mark
