a cock

Posted by akarui (Kagoshima, Japan) on 19 August 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Not very common to see one around here in Japan.

Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

joli mouvement de saisi, j'aime comme les pattes et la crête ressortent.
L'arrière plan ayant un peu moins d'intérêt, mais la désaturation (?) le fait oublier

@Laurent: Merci Laurent. L'ensemble de la photo a ete effectivement partiellement desature.

Il ne manque que le son, avec une photo pareille. La netteté est étonnante. Et pourrais-tu nous éclairer sur le fait que les coqs sont rares au Japon ?

@Calusarus: Merci Calusarus. Je ne sais si les coqs sont rares car ils doivent etres necessaires dans les elevages mais au Japon il est rare de voir les animaux de ferme que ce soit les vaches, porcs pour le gros betail pourtant bien present, ou encore les volailles et je n'ai jamais apercu une seule ruche alors que je vois des apiculteurs lors de certaines fetes.

Love the colours and the slight blur. I wonder how it would look framed as a portrait.
