This is a very well done photo. The focus and clarity are good. I love the details shown in the feathers and color. Very nice presentation of the rooster.
Lighting is also really good on the rooster, no distracting shadows or bright spots.
The couple things I notice that I think might have improved upon the shot are the division line in the background. it's almost right smack in the center of the photo, which to me doesn't create a good balance in the upper and lower halves. The lower half seems heavy to me.
Also, the crop. I might have liked to see a little more room in front of the rooster, or maybe back it up a bit or take it from a slightly angled position. Something to add a little tad bit of extra visual appeal to the already beautiful rooster.
The leaf 'coming out of the rooster's butt' is a little distracting since it is almost the same color as the rooster's feather's in that area and almost blends in there making a break in the rooster's form. I thin that leaf might be best cloned out.
Otherwise, excellent shot, lovely texture and detail. Beautiful animal. ~Heather~
