Taken in the "Ecomusée" in Alsace, an authentic open air village museum. Created in 1984, the Ecomusée d'Alsace comprises almost 70 authentic rural homes, dismantled in their original village where they were due for demolition, and rebuilt it here brick by brick. Over the years, and thanks to the contributions of thousands of volunteers and donors of historical items, the "Alsace Open Air Museum" has become one of the largest in Europe with its 100 hectares of village, fields and forests.

I like it! The museum colors and textures make a very complimentary backdrop for the peacocks. Very beautiful natural colors.

A really lovely shot. You've caught the male at his most flamboyant - although his girlfriend seems less than impressed.

There are lots of things I like about this image, just don't like them all together. I feel like the main subjects are lost in the clutter and even lost to each other by the angle of the shot. It's a fun snapshot but not a great photograph of a pair of great birds, the one fanned in glory. Not sure looking from this angle if there was really anything one could have done to get a better shot. If it's a place you can get back to, it might be worth the trip to try to find the pair again for a reshoot. anne =D

Critiquing art of any kind is utterly subjective. When I vote on your images, I look at several things. First, my initial gut reaction. Then, is it straight (if it should be); is the color correct or if intentionally saturated or desaturated, was it done properly and does it enhance the image; composition - if you intended a bulls-eye, unless it's an outstanding image that is really served by centering the subject, it'll get dinged; is the horizon dead center - again, unless there's an obvious reason that makes it a better photo, no points; is the subject interesting and uncluttered; is the image sharp; is the depth of field right for this composition, is there a catchlight in the creature's eye; would I hang this on my wall; is it an image I'd be proud to display; is it artistic or just a snapshot; does it move me; is there a message conveyed; is it documentary in nature and if so, does it tell the story in such a way it makes me want more. When I critique a photo in your gallery, I'm only suggesting what my subjective nature prefers. No need to defend your position if you like your image the way it is. If you give me constructive criticism on my pieces, I guarantee you I will take them to heart. I love to improve! Bring it on Caedians! Love, anne =D
