Male Peacock

[James Parker]

I took this shot at a little zoo just outside St Louis, Mo The background was so distracting I just made the whole thing go dark.

I like it James !!! That is one effective way to treat a busy bg !!! Fitting for such an elegant bird !!!! As presented would take some from the back side !!! Big Congrats !!!

Hi James: super colors, and like your solution to a very busy background. Well done. Al as usual came up with a good tip.
Best regards . . . Gus

[Dave Phillips]

good solution James, would like to see a bit sharper edge along tail feathers, esp left and bottom.

nice effective saturation

[Gus Cobos]

Very nice James,
Like the rich vibrant colors of your bird, and the dark background makes him pop...:eek::D Well done...

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Great colors James, love what you did with the background..
Congrats,

Well, since this is in the Eager To Learn forum technically calling this bird a male Peacock is an oxymoron. It's either a Peacock or a male Peafowl. A female would be a Peahen or a female Peafowl. There simply aren't any female Peacocks! With that out of the way this was an effective way to isolate and highlight this beautiful bird.

Hey Alan thanks for the correction I just wasn't thinking. BTW are those 110 degree temperatures getting you a little grumpy? Jim
