What about this photo?View attachment 3662964

This...

it's a tad out of focus but the angle's better.

Can you get in front of / a little off to the side and have someone pick one up and toss it at you?

Also the trees are leaning left so the whole image needs to be rotated so they are more straight up.

Since the chicken is flying to the right you want more room in front of the chicken than behind. So it should be on the left side of the image which gives it room to fly in to. Like this....

Ok.

Ok.

Forgot to mention, if you are trying to get the best image possible, try shooting an hour or two after sunrise or an hour or two before sunset (during golden hour) on a day with little to no clouds. You will want the sun at your back so the chicken is evenly lit.

K. I know just the place to do it.

Another thing to add is try doing this in the beginning of winter, when the chickens are still scared of the snow. If you've got someone helping you, you can have the chicken's landing spot (the coop fir example) ready before you even take the picture. You can even take several pictures this way. Also, I suggest using Sports mode with contuinous shutter. Your bird is a moving object, so you want your settings adjusted to that.

I think it would be better if the tail was not cropped off.

A vertical composition might work well too. Something like this....

Also, I would try to get lower and take a more eyelevel shot, assuming there is nothing crazy distracting in the background.

Ok, I'll keep that in mind for next time. Thanks!

Alright, I took that photo a little while ago, so I didn't know about that trick.

I'd would say it's a tad too dark?
