I shot this handsome dude at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum on L.I. where they're raising organic chickens. It was really fun watching him protect his flock.

Great head and feather detail. Wondering how you got all that detail out of f3.5. Background looks good also. Well done.

Jerry,
One of the advantages of the micro four thirds system is the increase in DOF. F3.5 yields about the same DOF as f7 on a full frame camera. The image is cropped from a horizontal shot which also helps somewhat.

Superb detail, and a very neat portrait, Steve. The feather detail seems a bit jagged in the larger image, like it might be just a bit oversharpened.

Wonderful detail. We call them 'Chooks' down here.
