Wow! Marvelous colors. You must have been waiting a while for the peacock to open up so wide.

I had to look at this one twice. My initial instinct was that your subject takes up the entirety of the photo, which goes against the challenge guidelines. But then I looked again and thought that perhaps the "subject" was the body of the peacock, rather than the feathers as well. You have a decent focus on the peacock, but I think that it might be hard for some people to know if you intend the body as the subject or the entirety of the bird.

This is a wonderful shot, however I seem to be getting pulled into the detail of the feathers more than the smaller head area. A fasinating composition and presentation nonetheless.

Pretty good shot, good DOF and colours are quite good. However, I have seen so many similar Peacock shots that this isn´t particularly interesting for me personally. You need something original to appeal to me but still very well done technically and the composition is good so I gave it a 7.

Great shot! I think you did a great job on getting all the detail and being minimal. I hope this one does well. I am giving it a 10!

Very appealing and original image. The fact that the feathers produce a pattern in which the subject emerges is a very clever one - nice approach of the challenge. Moreover, it has beautiful saturated colors and vrey good ocmposition. Good job.
