Most people have been assuming that I desaturated this picture. In reality, this is an albino peacock. They're pretty rare. I didn't do any desaturation to the picture. It was shot against a bar with the sun partially hitting the peacock. It turned out pretty cool.

Nice choice to show off the textures instead of the usual awesome colors.

Fabulous in black and white. Good composition (use of thirds).

Spectacular! I don't know if I would have thought to try turning this colorful creature into a black and white...but you did a wonderful job with it.

Brilliant. The lines of the feathers just draw you into the photograph.

Sometimes it's much better to just sit back, relax and enjoy the image without saying anything. Superlatives are insufficient for this image - it is an incredible conversion to grayscale and from an artistic standpoint, a complete success - almost perfect. Well done.
