Because there are approximately 3 people on LJ these days?

That is the only possible reason. While they are fine hens, I do not think they would win any wider populatity contest.

Nice birds. :-)

Seriously, I always enjoy looking at your photos, and wish I could take that kind of picture half as well as you do.

Thank you very much :-)

What hilarityallen said. Plus it's Sunday: always quiet.

Lovely photos. They deserve to be admired by as many folk as possible.

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Mm, you're probably right. And thank you very much! :-)

Those are fascinating photos - I'm not even going to attempt to choose a favourite.

Thank you! :-)

Unlocked posts that start with a photo appear with a cropped version of the photo underneath the heading on the LJ homepage. As the LJ homepage is mostly text, this makes them stand out - and as your first photo is a portrait-format one, it probably wasn't clear what it was from a landscape-format crop only showing the top of the hen - and you didn't give a heading. So I would guess most people who clicked thought 'what on earth is that???' :-D .

( I have had the same thought when I've done photoposts, so I went and looked at the LJ homepage to find out what was so interesting!)

I like that shield-bug.

Thank you, on both counts.

I was going to say because hens are such a lovely shape, and your first photo is a fine example of that, but now I've read the answer above, and I'm dazzled and rendered speechless by the techno-proficiency of it all. Very interesting to ponder! :)
