Windy night? Prob would have exposed it a bit less to make the flags less blurry.

The exposure looks a touch too long the monument is too bright for my taste.

This is a wonderful shot, however the exposure is off a touch, too long of a shutter or too big of an apeture or something. I'd like to see some detail in the lights across the bottom and not have the Tower so blown out. Otherwise its a beautiful shot. 6

I think the monument is a little too overexposed.

It would look very nice... but all the highlights are blown to wherever and beyond. Try to underexpose, you can always light up afterwards!

Pity the sky does not have more interest. But I can see it was a windy, cloudy night.

This image is very well taken - the bird is sharp, DOF is good, colors well done. I think where this could be improved is in the crop. The bird is facing towards the right so if you cut the left third of the image, it would put the bird looking across the image. This would make the image more dynamic. We all know of a peacocks huge array of feather so, even without it in the image, our minds fill it in. Doing this would bring the bird closer to the viewer for a more intimate shot. Also, as it is, we cannot see his eye or what he might be looking at. Very slightly lightening the eye or the space around it would make the eye stand out. I would bet, with those two changes, this image would score a point better with the DPC voters.
