A very impressive spread. I'd have liked to see the feet, I think. Alternately, moving the body off center and seing the edge of his fan on one side would make for a less static composition. Nice work, regardless.

i like the crop, I would have moved a bit to the right if I were you just to get a more dead on shot of the peacock himself.

I love the explosive feeling this photo has. It creates a feeling of motion. Something about the composition feels awkward though, like it's upside down or something.

my only 1 10s for the challenge, because i want you to win the blue ribbon, my second choices grades are all 8s. Amazing colour, when you viewed for a longer time, it looks like a 3d to me. i love to photograph peacock, they are simply beautiful and lovable and i knw the time you consumed to wait for the peacock to spread the wings..good timing and exposure. I really wanted to your image with a blue ribbon after the challenge. Excellent work and congratulation for this absolutely beautiful image. A PERFECT 10!!!!! take a bow now, you deserved it.

They're certainl;y very impressive birds - I like the way you've cropped it so that the tail fills the pic border. The blue on the body looks a little tampered-with to me.
