Peacock

I took this image of a Peacock's backside and added a bi-color filter with Color Efex by Nik Software.

Very nice use of the bi-color filter, and an unusual perspective of the peacock.

Certainly is an unusual perspective, denise:D Love the composition, would just the back feathers weren't truncated at the top. Like your choice of bi-color:)

Denise,

Greetings. Interesting perspective & color. I've wondered about how to compose the peacock's backside, since is it so interesting in varying textures. You might try a left centered vertical, for grins (especially if there is more top)... I particularly like the brown close body feathers...

Cheers,

-Michael-

Fabs and Kora, Thank you both for your comments.
Michael, Thanks-This is pretty much full frame and I only had a chance to shoot 3 images before it ran off. I was surprised I even got one in focus. :) I do like your idea and if I ever get another chance at the backside I'll give it a try.
