I was going through my photo files to see what I had that I could post. Its just been to windy here in Ulsan to get the macro out. Thats sad too, because there are some interesting insects out and about now.

This peacock is located at the school I teach at. I used the tamron macro again as a telephoto lens. It did a nice job. There is a fence between me and the peacock the lens just focused straight past it very well.

Hi Matt
Very well done to use the OOF plumage of its tail feathers as a BG for this lovely portrait.
The composition is just great and the colours are exceptional. The DOF is more than adequate with amazing details and the BG (as already mentioned) are spectacular. The exposure was perfectly managed.
Excellent work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

What a wonderful and interesting portrait that you have well captured ! The composition with the focus on head and feathers out of focus in background is great ! Congratulations Matthew and thanks for sharing.

Very sharp photo, Matt. Love the colours, especially the neon blue around the top of the head and the colours of the creamy background.

Sweet!

Wonderful shot!
Love the composition with the not-facused tail of the bird that works as marvellous background to the bird itself, decentrated and in royal posure...
Thanks for sharing,
Valerio.
