Hi Clint,
I like so much your proposal!
This peacock portrait is displayed with maestry, I like the light on the focal point at the head.
You achieved very well the iridiscent colours of their plumage.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Clint,
Wonderful shot of the peacock. You rightly said that it is different. Immaculate colours, sharpness, focus, lighting, POV and DOF. Special BG. Very nicely composed and presented. Kudos.

Hi Clint,

Superb shot of the Peacock, the composition and pose are both excellent, really nice detail too, the colours are wonderful, you have captured the iridescent Blue perfectly and it looks great against the green BG.

TFS Hilary :o)

Hi Clint,
I took several Peacock images myself. They are great models.
This one looks almost like a studio portrait.
Well composed and TFS

Great sharpness (as always). The colors of the peacock look amazing against the dark green background. Great DOF. Regards, Yvonne

Hi Clint, good to NOT see a peacock's tail! Nice use of light and DOF to make this.
