Peacock
by bennettjamie

Comment by SaraR:
Nice one Jaimie! This one really works - good strong frame-filling composition, with the peacock's head and neck off-centre; focus is crisp; colours are good. The only downside is that it is very slightly over-exposed, but that is only really apparant on the white patch around the eye. It ws good to get down to the same level as the bird, and that is something that you might like trying to do more often when shooting birds and animals (and children for that matter). Hope this helps a little.

I really like this shot - the only change I can recommend is to crop out the top of the windshield from it. Other than that, great lines, color, love the shadows.

DOF is way to deep. Interesting idea, but composition needs work.

Comment by escapetooz:
Well the wrinkled background is really distracting which would have been taken care of if this really was a shallow DOF shot. But I'm sure you've heard this a million times by now.

Other than that I find the maroon cloth very distracting, perhaps take it out or find a matching color. The crop is really tight at the top for me with too much space at the bottom.

a different backdrop might of been more effective

poor light, poor construction (wrinkles), relation to the challenge title?

I'd say your creativity has resurfaced :) This is a very appealing, striking abstract. There's so much energy in the variety of lines, curves and textures. Really great job.

And I think the fact that you like it means your creative juices are flowing and rewarding you!
