Outdoors by the entrance to the Estufa Fria, a botanical greenhouse in Lisbon, Portugal. This Peacock was doing his thing to an uninterested female just out of this shot. Very tame, or zoned out, but he was unperturbed by the people within feet of his courtship routine.

Dearest friend,
ONLY 9/10 because I feel that the image is not complete - for me the charm of the peacock is when you can see it in full !!!
Still great image !

I did like it wasn't shown in full. It filled the whole image really showing its authority.

This is very well done Richard, terrific deep colours, tack sharp all the way through, and cutting him into the frame was a great idea. Faved, what a great shot.
