    Default Rear View of Peacock Dancing

    I was waiting for a tiger to come out of the bush. I was thinking that it has given me the miss by leaving quietly through the dense undergrowth. After sometime, some peacocks came towards the bush from the opposite side. One of them started displaying. It is always a nice sight to see a peacock displaying. However, I would prefer to see it in a Tiger's mouth. :-)

    Anyway, I thought of doing a different composition. Please comment on the result. This is a full frame image. Equipment: Canon EOS 40D, Canon EF 400mm F2.8 L IS USM, Canon EF 2xII, ISO 200, f5.6, 1/200

    PS: Peacock is the National bird of India. Widely revered by Hindus. Hunted for its feathers and meat, though hunting is banned. And only males have this wonderful plumage and display to attract the better half (or is it lesser half?) :-)

    I like the angle, composition and display. I'm happy he does not serve as snack for a tiger and the 'lesser half' comment is just asking for trouble. :)

    Oh my, what a psychadelic display!! I was going to suggest more room above, but saw that this is full-frame. Did you have time to take some images without the 2X on?

    I think you've been looking at Jody's Peregrine Falcon photo a few too many times! ;)

    Lately, I've been seeing a Threshold solution in all the images I view. Maybe a little less coffee? Anyway, that's what I did with this lovely image. Plus, a little sharpening. To me, the colors seem a little more vibrant and pure. Maybe it's just my Threshold view.
