Peacock feeding
I want to say that this bird is "in the wild", because it was found at Cachuma Lake just roaming around, but obviously this is not a wild bird. These birds are from India and Burma and become feral for various reasons. I got some great opportunities for captures with this one.
Converted in LR2, then polished in CS4.

Hi Kerry, Nice pose along with soft and even lighting. The backround is nicely muted with a flowering bush as additional interest. Well handled!!
Beautiful details and very pleasing light. Subject is also well defined and sharp with excellent eye contact.
Lots to like here Kerry - you have captured the sheen of the feathers very well, good HA and eye contact and a pleasing composition.
Well done :)
Looks like an oil painting. Very beautiful iridescence on the feathers and good pose and HA. Very nice Kerry.
Gorgeous colors, Kerry. I like the variations of green in the bird and the grasses along with the complimenting iridescence blues.
Kerry, nice image. I like the shallow dof so the tail is slightly oof. Beautiful colors and composition. I had
a male peacock wander onto my property and stay for weeks - I loved having him as a guest:)
