    Dottie and I went to the rookery at Gatorland this morning. This Peacock was perched high on one of the tower for the Zip Line over the alligator breeding pond. I am not sure if it is a captive bird or one of our feral population that has take up residence at Gatorland. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Joe:

    Well exposed, sharp, the 'crown' shows well against the sky.

    I do find the perspective a bit of challenge however. It has changed the proportions of the bird enough that the body dominates the image, downplaying the wonderful head they have. A less steep angle would have been more flattering.

    Cheers
