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.
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 🙂
He really does know how to strut his stuff! Great capture.
Thanks Tim.
What an amazing photo, he is beautiful x
he is a bit of a show off 🙂
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.
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!
Kriss, you are so incredibly talented… I am always amazed when I see your photos!
What a lovely comment Mel – thank you!
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.
WHat an awesome shot. The cock really stands out in the darkness.
That’s a wonderful portrait. Like a Dutch still-life. He’s beautiful.
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 🙂
What a handsome chap he is. Not sure is want him as an alarm clock though #MySundayPhoto
He definitely looks a striking beast and so colourful against a plain background, lovely shot 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

Great moment to capture Kriss, and beautifully framed. I do like chickens-theres just something about them that makes me smile.

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.
