This is the cock – rooster – at the stables where my daughter rides. Cock a doodle doo crowed the cock (if you’re British and Irish) or the rooster (if you’re North American and Australian).
He’s rather noisy at times. This week he stood on a fence post in front of a door crowing while he basked in the sunlight.
how fabulous is that! corker of a photo
Sorry I’m late visiting but he’s a fabulous fella! Great photo 🙂
He is so beautiful! x
Wow that is an amazing photo – looks like you’ve captured him mid-crow.

He’s very beautiful, great photograph! My Mum has so many animals including chickens. They have a giant Rooster who is very magnificent, he’s called Russell Crow!! 😀
Amazing photography there. Just wow.
Great chook shot!
This is one of the best shots I’ve seen today, absolutely brilliant! We have chickens and I’ve taken 100s of photos of them over the years, I’ve never managed to take one as good as this of our cockerels. Fab shot.
What a great shot 🙂
Wow. Thats all that I can say! WOW! #mysundayphoto
Thank you Merlinda 🙂
What a wonderful photo! Stunning creature x
What an amazing photo, it looks like it should be in a glossy coffee table book on elegant fowl!
Wow this is a fantastic shot! Love it x #MySundayPhoto
Great photo, love the dark background, really makes the bird pop 🙂
Great shot Kriss! I love the colours x
Fab photo! He looks quite formidable as he should, he rules the roost, literally 🙂
That is so amazingly crystal clear, stunning photo
Thank you for linking up
Wow great capture xx
Great moment to capture Kriss, and beautifully framed. I do like chickens-theres just something about them that makes me smile.
oh wow what an amazing photo , so clear and looks great against the dark background x
Oh wow, that’s an amazing shot. Love the colours and the lighting. I had a gorgeous nursery rhyme book when I was little and looking at your photo takes me right back to being little and sitting looking at it’s wonderful pictures … must go dig it out! x
He definitely looks a striking beast and so colourful against a plain background, lovely shot x
What a handsome chap he is. Not sure is want him as an alarm clock though #MySundayPhoto
Such a fabulous photo, as ever. I really don’t know how you do it!
I most certainly would consider you for the BiBs! 🙂
Thank you so much Sarah 🙂
That’s a wonderful portrait. Like a Dutch still-life. He’s beautiful.
WHat an awesome shot. The cock really stands out in the darkness.
My grandparents had a farm when I was younger & they had 2 huge roosters, they were really loud too. One would chase us around just to be mean, hah. He was bigger than we were.
Kriss, you are so incredibly talented… I am always amazed when I see your photos!
What a lovely comment Mel – thank you!
that is such a fab shot. yes i was wondering about the background too but i see from the comments how it happened. he is a magnificent creature!
Great shot. I was going to ask how you got the black background, but I see it was in front of a door. Always nice when animals get in the right position for good photo opportuinties
Thanks Emma – yes he was actually outdoors in the sunlight but the door was open right behind him as a perfect dark backdrop.
What an amazing photo, he is beautiful x
he is a bit of a show off 🙂
He really does know how to strut his stuff! Great capture.
Thanks Tim.
Now this is rather magnificent, what a perfect capture of him strutting his stuff!
Thanks Fiona – and boy does he like to strut around the riding stables 🙂
