This month, I'm musing a bit on photography. One of the things I sometimes consider is whether I can make an artistic photograph in the chicken coop. Of these, I think the one of Laverne could qualify. I think it helps when the photo is technically good, and I like the crisp focus, dreamy depth of field, color story and composition. I also think an artistic photograph needs some power and emotion, and I think I see it in the portrait of Laverne. What do you think?

Your chickens are beautiful. I often wish we could have some unusual breeds. I so love seeing them strut around. We have 32 thousand free range hens but all ordinary looking chooks. The disease risk of having a few of these around the yard would be far too great to our crop.
I often photograph our hens. Their plumage, colouring and posture can definitely be artistic. I love catching them in unusual places. In trees, drinking from troughs, in amongst the other animals... ..your beautiful hens would make fantastic artistic pics.
Love your chickens! I would love to keep chickens too:) I love your photo of Laverne, especially the depth of field and colours.
Laverne looks like a chick you don't want to mess with. I also think the first photo of the Buffy is very artistic - in a softer way because the chicken itself has softer lines.
You have some lovely chickens! I like the depth of field in the photo of Laverne, I agree that artistic photos need power and emotion, not always easy to portray.
Those are probably the best looking chickens I've ever seen, and Lavern is definitely a looker!
Love your chickens! They grew well and look great.
Great photos! We're getting some new hens in a couple of weeks, Wyandottes I think. We're down to only 4 hens.
