WHITE PEACOCK !!!!

[Michael Stern]

Hi,
Never saw a white peacock before however I was out rambling around and it walked out of a tree stand and spread its feathers - not for me - for a female nearby! Thought you might like to see it as well. All comments and or suggestions on the image most welcomed!!
Best,
Michael

What a beauty. That guy is a one-man fireworks display! All I would suggest is to throw some light in the shadow details. Very impressive capture.

I like a lot the tight framing, I would only suggest to completely darken the ambient. Nice light, and detail. Some feathers look a tad oversharpened. Congratulations.

I agree with Ramón: more dark would increase the impact of this image. Love the texture of the feathers in the bright part of the fanned tail

Ditto Ramon on sharpening. Shot looks really great. Thx for sharing

I like the dark background, it goes well with white feathers. I agree about oversharpen on some of the feathers.
