Chickens at the Schantz Farm

PHOTOGRAPH INFO

This photo was taken last Saturday at the Schantz Farm near Zionsville, PA. The colors of the chickens' feathers really stood out on a cold, gray day.

Post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D and the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens at 58mm, ISO 200, f/2.8, shutter 1/400s. Curves adjustments, color balancing.

Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

Purposely portrayed poultry perched precariously -picture perfect. They look lined up in pecking order.

I love those colorful feathers and combs. They lined right up and posed for you. Nice shot.

Hi Kathleen,

I must say, I have been looking at your images for some time. I have always been struck by the wonderful color. Really beautiful work.

Thats the most elegant looking chicken I ever saw...or maybe it's just me. It opened at work on a cinema display--gorgeous color! The colors in the feathers reminds me of those 18th century still life paintings with tables covered with fruit, silverware, china, fish and fowl, pistols, powder horns, violins, cellos, fishing lures, axes, etc., etc.......and for some reason, chickens make me smile.

For surprises without end, I thank you.

The colour and DOF are excellent! I would maybe have cropped or cloned out the two thin red wires at the top of the image!

I really love this image!

What a great display of color - just what I needed this morning! That first one looks like he is just as proud as a peac....wait, wrong bird! Great job Kathleen!
