"Red Jungle Fowl"

This is one of my pastels I decided to do when I didn't know what I wanted to paint next, so I just went through my photos and picked this chicken whose photo I took when we were in Hawaii.  They run loose all over the place.  I will first show the original and then how it shows now.  When it was first finished, there was something that didn't seem right.  I realized it was the composition.  I like my diagonal, but too much space at top.  So I resized it to 8" x 8".  I remembered hearing "you can't go wrong with a square format".  I do like it better.  If anyone has any feedback on that thought, please let me know.  I am still learning composition (and there is a lot to learn!!).
