Greetings from the CC
I like your shot, while it is not particularly WOW, it has interest, good colors, no distracting background and I like that the peacock feathers are almost human like in that they look like 2 eyes. With that in mind I feel like the composition is sort of upside down and I find myself turning my head to look at it. The black background helps the shot to be more dramatic and and the colors to stand out more. The more I lok at it the more I would rotate the whole shot 90 degrees counterclockwise.
