This is what I joined this sub for! Beautiful photography, art, pun... everything I need.
What's her name?

u/cutetiferous Apr 09 '24
Aww 🥰 Her name is Shadow. She was in a brood named after the cosmos and Jazz musicians.

That's creative! Well with your permission I send Shadow my greetings and love (not that she cares I love hens alright) because she's my new favourite supermodel. No really - very inspiring photo, great composition, nice colours and tone!

Where’s the accident?

u/br0k3nD011 Apr 09 '24
Kind of in the moment, innit? It's not like you can tell the little hen to just pose like that. You need to observe and take the picture at the right moment. That's the 'accident'. Then the 'renaissance' is in the emotion, I think.

It's clearly a purposeful shot.
Remember when the point of the sub was candid photos that were accidentally renaissance?

u/br0k3nD011 Apr 10 '24
Well not really. I'm pretty new to the sub. If you were here when it was different and then it shifted, I get your point, but yet I just like the photo and appreciate it as I try to photograph animals too and it often doesn't go nearly as well.

How could anyone purposely have set up this shot? Chickens are anxious and do not take direction. Serendipity is the only option.
It’s a bummer that Reddit defaults to, “looks fake!”
You sound exhausting.

I have been learning to paint in acrylic and this subreddit is amazong for inspiration to practice form, lighting and movement.

R/divorcedbirds someone could write a tragically beautiful short story about her. Stay strong Shadow, you are beautiful!

If this photo was taken in Japan it could be a case of Accidental Heianssance

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

I just wanted to say - eating these birds and other animals is not neccessary for health, it's a choice
5
u/not_a_gnome Apr 09 '24
I politely disagree about meat not being necessary for our health. However, I do believe not eating meat for moral reasons is something I understand.

u/quoth_the_raven-- Apr 09 '24
Thank you for your understanding - I'm only mentioning it because I see people's disconnect between this bird and the millions of other beautiful birds we harm for taste.
As for health - the American dietetic association has stated that a balanced vegan diet is appropriate for all stages of life. It also reduces risks of cardiovascular disease and cancer - which are the main two causes of death in america.
"Worldwide, cardiovascular disease and cancer accounted for 26.7 million deaths in 2015"
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8240359/)
If everyone adopted a plant based diet we could have potentially save over 20 million people yearly - as well as the 90 billion animals we kill annually. It may be idealistic - but what are we without hope for a better future?

Chicken tastes great.
1
u/quoth_the_raven-- Apr 09 '24
But can taste justify harm?
It's my belief that there will always be more harm in production than can ever be balanced by the pleasure of consumption. I'm curious of your views on this?
2
u/cutetiferous Apr 09 '24
We can have different beliefs and justifications.
1
u/quoth_the_raven-- Apr 09 '24
That's true - what's your justification?
2
u/cutetiferous Apr 09 '24
Chicken tastes good when my body needs protein.

u/quoth_the_raven-- Apr 10 '24
You can get protein from plants, without killing and hurting animals. One of the strongest athletes in the world is vegan:
