Challenge: Blue III (Basic Editing)

Aperture: f/4

Date Uploaded: Nov 7, 2008

 We went to the zoo with our 2yo and I thought that I might spy an animal or bird that would fit into the Green or Blue challenge. How can you go past a Peacock? I wish this was advanced editing as there's some detail around his eyes that I feel needs to be brought out but I liked the cheeky look on his face.

Love the omposition, focus and dof are spot on, and exposure seems good. What does seem to be missing is a sense of vibrancy and clarity.

The blue really pops out, but it compliments the greens. This is an amazing photo, you did a good job. one of my picks for a ribbon.

Great detail on this guy, and a good angle to show off his blue-ness as well as his showy tailfeathers.

Cool shot but I think that it doesn't give me enough blue... But If the shot was in a dif. challenge I would say a near perfect shot... I think I will give it a 7
