Bleeding Chickens

I tried to show the struggle between life and death in this image of the chickens bleeding, so I decided to make a slow exposure, slow enough to get the movement of the dying chicken but keep the rest stand still. Like the sense of motion at a brook, or a stream. What you think? Did I get it?

I think you really got it. For my own personal vision I would use the top third only. It makes a funny kind of image but stops being funny once you reach the blood I guess. This series you've got going is really enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
 
i like the whole thing jose

i photographed at a slaugherhouse in chinatown-boston years ago, and the whole "trough of blood" thing really gets to the point. (in boston their system was a little more "modern" the trough was a conveyor belt.)

thanks for posting!
