This image has alot of appeal. I like the use of the necklace leading across the image. Good lighting, composition and focus. Good luck in the challenge.

Good composition, not too distracting from jewelry. Focus seems a bit soft on the pearl at the very front and mostly crisp on the rose; should have been the othe way around.

I am glad that you stopped and captured this image. I like how the blue with Master comes out in this almost monochromic image.

I would have recommended reducing the aperture to get a better depth of field. The eye is naturally drawn to the bright yellow one, but unfortunately it's already slightly outside of the focal range. Alternatively, focusing there and blurring the near and the far parts might also have worked well.

I do like the colors.

Albino Peacock 3

Comment by Zed Pobre:
There is probably no way to take a picture of an albino peacock such that it doesn't come out harshly white, so I can't really critizice the shot for that, even though the center is a little hard on the eyes. Composition is good, but I must agree with Rachel about the border. It's not subtle, doesn't really fit, and detracts from the image.

This shot is simply stunning....love the softness of the photo...However, I personally do not like the border...it takes away from the majesty of the peacock...still a beautiful photo though!!! Great job!!!!!!!!!
