The Old Tin Chook Farmer by Michael John
This interesting looking farmer has been sculptured from metal, complete with hat and pitchfork.
Although finished with a few coats of coloured paint for clothes, he, like Dorothy’s tin man from The Wizard of Oz, is showing signs of rust.
The chickens don’t seem scared of him at all, and are quite happy to feed around his boots.
Some old rusty farm machinery stands nearby.
Captured on a farm near Richmond, NSW, Australia.

Nice subject matter and composition: the chicken on the left balances the oranges on the right – keeping the eye right where you want it! Sweet!
