Peacock portrait

[Sid Garige]

From Gatorland last weekend. Thanks to Mike for his wonderful hospitality. Excellent place and excellent host.

Always wanted a make a good composition other than feather display. Ran into this guy at and posed for me quite well.

Did a little bit of patch up work on feathers on head to avoid a bright spot.

D300, 200-400mm VR and 25mm extension tube.
