Not the greatest, but I loved the colors, especially that awesome blue.

I'm terrible about doing this, cuz I always forget, but MaryO reminded me: darkened the background which is ... a window, no textures, no layers.

Very pretty - before I read your comments, I thought the background was water.

Peacocks are such awesome and colorful birds, nice capture of his color. I do feel the background is a bit grainy and could you a selective pass through some noise reduction.

I'm not sure it's possible to take a bad picture of a Peacock . . they are such wonderful elegant birds, with such glorious colours.

Beautiful color. I love the background for this peacock. It looks almost like a painting.

That certainly is a gorgeous midnight blue color. Peacocks are so pretty!

Beautiful bird. I love the DOF and painted look of the background. The lighting gives it a very ethereal look. Well done!

No fair complaining about missing a squirrel shot and then posting a gorgeous PEACOCK!

Did you use a texture overlay on this? Kinda' looks like it. The stripey effect of the background grasses is really nice. I love the colors, of course, and the fact that the bird is looking kind of contemplative. Think I would play with dodging some to bring out the lighting, which is rather subtle. Then again, how often does one see a peacock in a subtle light ;-)
