Peacock on fence. Though indigenous to India and the Middle East, peacocks have been in our area since the Mormon pioneers brought them over in the 1850s. I have no idea why...

Colors work very well - muted except on the peafowl.

nice clear image, the peacock is always a good bird to photograph due to its vibrant coloring, nice choice of subject

nice composition and subject. i would have boosted the saturation a bit to bring the colors out some more.

I like the perspective you've chosen here - perhaps crop out the bit of red string.

The colors are amazing, especially the way the blue tone in the background fits to the darker blue of your subject!

This is a nice shot with good use of DOF. Beautiful blue color on the subject with a nice offset of blue in the sky background. The bird works well against the tree branches. Perhaps cropping out the post would give center stage to the subject more, as the post is a bit distracting and not necessary. Overall, excellent shot for the challenge.

Very nice. I wish we could have seen more of the tail though and less tree.

A royal position. Wish we could see his feet. The tree fanning out in the back is like a reminder of the beautiful tail and the fence post give a sense of place.

I would of saved the feet on the subject, and crop more of the sky. like the fence post, adds to the all around picture.

Good exposure, interesting composition. I'm intrigued by the balance of the peacock and the fence posts. One almost echos the other...

Nice! These are beautiful animals even when not showing off all the feathers, and this photo works because of the dullness of the background colors. I like this photo a lot!

Beautiful Color ! The DOF is perfect. I would like to see the tail and feet but I know how that can't be helped sometimes. This is really nice !
