An ode to the humble giant chicken and his plight.

Unfortunately it seems I must delete this one, as the owner of the stock doesnt allow their photos to be used as stocks which is fair.
I really should have asked first =P
I'll leave this here for 30 mins so you can all read up to why it's gone.

I will however try and replace it soon with a different stock.

I just lol at this.

Only thing I would suggest is, adding shadows under where the chicken is standing, his lack of shadows among the building's shadows is a little out of place. (ignoring a giant chicken being out of place)

The typography is good on this one also(though maybe .5 - 1 size bigger for it all would work better) and the message it delivers is a thought I am sure has been running in many people's minds for awhile.

I did attempt a shadow, I just made it a little too light. It's barely noticeable.
There's a few things I wanna change, so I'll do that soon.

Thanks Dek, glad you like it =D

Cheers for the input Pix, I agree with you to a degree.
I was going for a little bit of contrast really, so he.. well she.. sticks out a little more instead of just blending in with the rest of it. But I'm going to try it anyway because you've got me curious now haha

The colouring is a bit off, you should have added a more sepia-like light over the chicken xD
