A parliament! Strange, incongruous, lovely. Not sure what that missing patch on the upper peacock's shoulder is...

The subdued colours suit the old feel of the image. Nice ghosts and figures.

Thought provoking image, just as we feel like the center of the universe, he looks at whoever is looking at him.

Terrific shadows, and great glowing light on the bird. I think I would have preferred the cloth go all the way to the right side (with maybe a graduated fade) than the curvature with the sharp contrast to black. I like how you've made it seem the bird object is watching over the cork, either like a parent over a child, or like a predator setting a trap!

The viewing angle is great. The lower right is a bit bright for my taste.
