Wonderfull capture. Perfect pov with the amased faces of the kids.

Hello Maggie,

What a great pov!
The hen almost fills the frame. It reminds me so much of wonderful collages I used to do with the children where the feather textures were emphasised above all else.
Your shot gives the illusion that the children are caged too and the hen is just tolerating their presence!
For low light, your colours are amazingly bright and the exposure sharp for a slow speed, hand held!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

If it won first prize it must be considered a good thing for a hen to be fat. (Is it a hen or a cockerel?)Excellent shot of it while the children were marvelling at its size. Good timing.

Hi Maggie,
That's a funny one. You were a little bit to close and cut pieces of the hen but it doesn't really matter.
Cheers

Well, it's a Big Fat Hen indeed, Maggie - much bigger than
my Spanish one!
Good tight framing and priceless kids' faces looking at
this beast of a bird in amusement!
Beautiful and well kept hen!
