Peacockscape

Well... you said close up! What do you do when you have an inquisitive and extremely cooperative peacock strutting within 30 cm of you, on the other side of a wire net? Why, get out your macro gear of course!

Taken at Lataguri Nature interpretation center deer rehabilitatiom facility, Gorumara National Park. This lone peacock was sharing space in an enclosure for barking deers.


1/100 @ f/9. ISO 800, 70-300 VR with +3 achromat at 70mm, D5000

Can't find the link to modify the above post... here is the image in a smaller size if that above breaks forum rules.

This is a close-up for sure. Not sure I'm sold on the crop. If it were mine I'd take some off the top. Colors are interesting.

Now that's extreme close-up! Excellent details and colours...very hypnotic :-) I do wish the split barbs were not split.
