Super work here Jim. Just the right angle to catch the beauty of the Peacock.

If we were voting on this one, I would say the eyes have it.
They are so colorful and amazingly all look close to the same.

Think you better can delete 'me thinks', Jimbob. It will make it possible for me to agree with the rest of your narrative, lol.
Great one again.

Really nicely composed, Jim.

If there is anything that falls under a shortcoming, and to tell the truth I am not sure here myself ... perhaps, a tad oversharpened?

If when and during resizing, a suggestion ... that being, experiment with the different settings/options typically available to 'you' (speaking generally here). And don't opt for more of, simply put.


Some more food for thought for you on this note, and if applicable:

"Resize or sharpen first?"


That said, very good colour. Quite natural. And with the benefit of some knowledge provided by Garrett on one of his images of a hummingbird, I believe ... I suspect that the iridescence of the peacock's chest feathers is going to be slightly ... slightly, problematic in any case.

Me?

Might have been tempted to make a selection of that area, and then ... lower the saturation of the blues/greens. Just to see if you could bring out a tad more detail.


I did say that this was a good good shot, I trust?

/\ Well, now I did. :o)

Well, methinx so also Jimbo!! I love that your didn't do a straight on forward looking shot, but instead did a slight angle, I love seeing the little curve at the bottom right of his gorgeous feathers. And as you know bloo is my colour in life and this cobalt bloo is just awesome! You took a most beautiful photo of this great old birdie. Verena

Nice photo Jim, I had two of these as pets in my back yard as a kid, in New York city of all places. The problem was keeping them in the yard.
