Hi Oscar - Nice bird - gotta love peacocks.

Head angle doesn't look to bad to me, however find the lack of detail in the eye distratcing.

I have D/L and tried some adjustments.

Applied some shadow highlight correction to the entire image - then backed the blues off a bit.
Tried to lighten and sharpen the eye.
Also sharpened a bit as well - might be too much.

Lovely shot Oscar. The original blue was a little intense and I liked the way Lance muted it. Good capture!

These guys always look not quite real! Good going Oscar! Nice re-post Lance, like what you did with the eye.

[Alfred Forns]

You guys are cleaning up with the peacocks !!! I like the work around the eye on the re post !!

Excellent framing and good head position !!!
