What do y'all think of this photo?

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

Yeah, a bit dark. Also she's slightly out of focus, which is probably because of low light shutter drag. And the foreground logs(?) really crowd her and are a distraction.

I agree with everything AZ said.

I like the low angle, eyelevel perspective. This is much better than looking down at it. The background in this case isn't the best and is a little distracting.

As far as composition, ideally, you want more room in front of the chicken than behind it. You want more room in the direction it is looking. In this case, you have the chicken pretty much centered in the frame.

I think it would look better if you move him a little to the left so you have more room in front of him than behind him. Like this....

Hello! My friend suggested I check out this thread as I recently got a camera and I'm planning on taking some nice photos of my birds! I will need to show y'all my camera but I need to get it...

We're just a corrupting influence. Hang around here long enough and I guarantee you will learn lots of stuff you never thought of about photography.

What type of camera did you get? Brand, model, etc.

What do you guys think? The graininess/blurriness is from the fact that I had to lighten the exposure a lot.

I like it!
Maybe crop the bottom up a little bit, so the focus is on the bird, and not the blur on the bottom.
Over all, I really like it!
I couldn't get a picture like that personally, yet. Lol

The background is too distracting from the bird. Getting closer to it and having it as the picture's primary focus (having it take up more of the overall scene) would be better. Maybe being to the bird's side would have been good, too, depending what you were going for. The bug in it's beak makes it unique, so being to the bird's side isn't too big of a deal. The colors are beautiful.

As far as lightening up the exposure, that shouldn't have too much effect on the blurriness as far as I know. I would try upping the clarity or sharping it to help with the blurriness, but that could cause it to be more grainy.
