 This is a peacock from the avary at a safari park near Javea in Spain. Took a couple of hundred shots at the park but this is the most DPC friendly I would think.

I like it but there are a few things I don't like about it so I don't expect a great score, somewhere around my average (5.8) would be nice with a hope to get a little higher.

I really like this composition for this showy bird - a nice change from the usual shot.

I love the brilliant blue. I also like this sideways perpective of the feathers.

Wonderful composittion and capture the colours are amazing seems just that tad too bright might have tried to play with the levels on this one. Well done.

Nicely centered, but seems cliche.
