 I think the blue light makes it look out of focus. I guess we will see how that fares.

Peacock feathers are cooooooooool.

Great job capturing the iridescence while keeping everything else dark!

I didnt get the chance to go through the burst of colour shots but this is really lovely. Lovely composition and shot on focus. Bizarre question...Is the red material that the peacock feather is on also the same material that you used in you seeing red composition?

Nice to see that this got reasonable votes as well although honestly I would have marked it higher

Lovely lighting and a beautiful burst of colour. I think cropping some of the bottom brownish area would have made it even better.

There is another similar shot in this challenge with blue backlighting...or maybe it's just a blue background. Anyway, the brighter color behind makes the feather and the colors pop. Try brightening up your background next time. Other than that, pretty lighting directly on the feather!

Beautiful color. You captured the iridescence nicely. I wish the lower background was a bit darker. I find it a bit distracting as it is.
