A chook's eye

A chook's eye

This must be the ultimate in captive animal photography as the chook was in a small cage in Victoria Market waiting to be sold. I had to shoot with the 18-200mm lens right up to the wires in the cage and position the lens to get rid of the image of the wires. This was tricky as the bird kept moving around.

Any suggestions for a better title as I am not overly fond of this but am devoid of ideas?

    I have to keep looking but its making me feel a bit uuuukkkk at the same time.
    Great shot though excellent detail.

    Thanks for the comment poppykitten. Not a bad title. It could be shortened to “My new hat”.
