[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I shot this one at the Zoo today. Here more information about Indian Peafowl:

The species is found in dry semi-desert grasslands, scrub and deciduous forests. It forages and nests on the ground but roosts on top of trees. It eats mainly seeds, but also some insects, fruits and reptiles.

Females are about 86 cm (34 in) long and weigh about 3.4 kg (7.4 lbs), while males average at about 2.12 m (7.3 ft) in full breeding plumage (107 cm/42 in when not) and weigh about 5 kg (11 lbs). The male is called a peacock, the female a peahen. The Indian Peacock has iridescent blue-green plumage. The upper tail coverts on its back are elongated and ornate with an eye at the end of each feather. These are the Peacock's display feathers. The female plumage is a mixture of dull green, grey and iridescent blue, with the greenish-grey predominating. In the breeding season, females stand apart by lacking the long 'tail feathers' also known as train, and in the non-breeding season they can be distinguished from males by the green colour of the neck as opposed to the blue on the males.

hola Juan

tu retrato de primer plano de esta pájaro tiene un interés por el color intenso de sus plumas y la mirada fija y amenazante.

tu punto de vista perpendicular a la cabeza es el ideal.

el enfoque no es facil debido a la distancia ,pero no ha quedado mal

el fondo borroso le va perfectamente

saludos

jjo
