Description

I chose this bird portrait of a Plymouth Rock rooster to post-process with a Selective Color method, whereas the photograph is converted to black-and-white and then using the Brush Tool to remove parts of the black-and-white to reveal the original color. In this case, you can see that I focused the brush tool on the red comb, the red wattle, the yellowish beak and the orange eye.

I enjoyed this unique portrait session with a couple dozen hens and three roosters in August 2019, a few miles southwest of Corn, Oklahoma.

Working a live action portrait shoot of chickens can be a little tricky. You have to be ready to anticipate their next move, and you are lucky if you get an opportunity where their head isn’t moving for a full two seconds.
