Nice close up Ron - immpecable sharpness on the feathers with great saturation.. The close up makes an interesting composition which I think works well.. The bird has moved it's head at the critical moment but 'Working with kids and animals' - I take my hat off to you :-)

Cheers
David

Thanks for joining in Ron! This is beautiful! Of course, peacocks are incredible with their colors. This is super sharp, I wish his head was as sharp. The solution is to back the lens out for deeper DOF and then crop closer. Of course, staying back is a good idea..not sure if these things attack!

Hi Ron,
Woah, talk about vibrancy! What a beauty, such photogenic creatures. I like the way you've cropped this, the topaz adjust almost gives it a 3D element. Great job mate!

TFS,

Hi Ron,

My compliments for presenting a bright, well-exposed shot with very intense colours. It appears that the filter you used may have changed the colour above the two concentric circles of cyan and navy/black. All of the photos that I have seen of blue peacocks' tails show the colour next to the two small circles in the "eyespot" as a light to medium amber or brown/bronze. However, in your photo it is a pinkish red colour. This is TL, after all, and the theme this week is "Intense Color(s)"; so, it's all a matter of one's interpretation. Good submission for the theme. TFS.

Regards,
John

Hi, Ronald -
Fantastic composition - just enough of the head and neck shown, with the "eyes" on the fanned tail looking right at the bird. Wonderful sharp details and - yes - intense colors! Well done.

ron great idea for this theme. This is actually a mesmerizing, as you look at it for any length of time the colors blend especially if you try and look at the peacocks head.
Your filter worked well on this. Crop certainly is tight on this but I think thats why this works so well.

Hello Ronald,I like the composition so that the peacocks' tail fills the frame.
Brilliant colours and an exotic feel to this shot;the filter has certainly enhanced the colours.
Good work.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Bonsoir Ronald

Nice contribution to the theme. Effectively, the reflection of their feathers allways give nice vivid and intense colors. Nice work and TFS.

Hi Ronald,

Very natural and intense colors, accurate lighting and focus, it is sharp and clear,
and good composed. This subjet suits the
theme very well.

Hey Ron,
As much as I find peacock shots cliche, hats off to your precise technical settings and pp work in this classic looking photo of the bird. It has the most elegant wings, and the bird has good eye contact with the cam. Regards.

Stunner with this one, it certainly fits the bill for intense colours. Great cropping on this filling the frame with colour, nice and sharp on the tail. TFS
