 USM, increased saturation, slight crop on right and top (about 2%), increased both brightness and contrast. Resize for web. I'm sure I'll get hurt for the fact that he's heading out of the photo instead of into it, and the bokeh is just a tad too bright, but hopefully voters will find the composition somewhat interesting.

Great portrait of a rooster. Nice bold colors, good control of depth as always. Very nice framing.

LOL. I wondered whether this was your favorite rooster! :) Another good shot of him, no doubt.

Nice bokeh, but the image overall feels a little dark.

Composition is indeed very good - I like how the irridescent tail feathers provide a lovely compliment to the red and bronze of his head and neck. Great detail as well - fine shot, fine finish!

Where's them three French hens? Damn beautiful. I think the bokeh pulls this away from safe and into interesting, especially in the thumbnail. Congrats on the high score!

Not sure what to focus on here, the head or that deliciously feathered tail.
