These are such beautiful birds, great blues.

Nice capture! Aren't they amazing?

Good idea but the focus isn't detailed enough. Good angle and framing.

Beautiful colors and a nice angle. Wish it was clearer.

Nice peacock shot. the blue is very striking.

More DOF could have made this score more highly, I think.
Post actions
I like the close crop and the vibrant blues.
Post actions
I would have scored this higher had the focus been sharper and the colors bumped up a little
Post actions
ehm, its a bit shady and not very sharp,
Post actions
hard to do, I know, but the head could have used a little fill flash

Very beautiful closeup. To my eyes it might be lacking a little in sharpness, but the colours are just great.

A gorgeous creature. The head and chest are very luminous but the rest of the feathers are oddly dull.
Post actions
This doesn't quite hit the sharpness for me, especially around the beak.

Nice shot of the peacock, I just wish it was a bit sharper.

Wonderful colors and a great design effect! Excellent detail! 7

I would have been tempted to go for a deeper depth of field to show off those wonderful feathers. i also feel that you could have afforded to boost the saturation and contrast a little - as it is the photo does appear a little flat. I suspect that the photo was taken with the sun fairly high - I have had most success with photographing peacocks when the sun is lower and the light coming from the side; it seems to bring out the colours and texture more.

something about your lighting makes this less rich...I know this birds colors are/or can be very bold and brilliant...something is making it flatter

Nice comp.. could be sharper but still nice overall.
Post actions
The blue is a good saturation, but the greens seem subtle by comparison.

Nice peacock. Lovely blues!
Post actions
Nice natural colors. Needs a bit more focus but still a beautiful subject.
Post actions
They are splendid, aren't they? Good color and I like the composition. Face is a little too dark on my monitor; I'd dodge the shadowed areas a bit to bring it out.
Post actions
Crop is too tight IMO , but nice details , 6

Fabulous subject, well composed. I think I would like it better if it were more crisply focused ... I should know ... I've tried this subject before and never done better than you have.
Post actions
Those light streaks really draw attention to the eye. I would have boosted the contrast a tiny bit. Nice shot.
Post actions
Maybe a tad dark around the face but still a nice shot and filled the frame well.
Post actions
Interesting approach, think i would have gone with full palette
Post actions
Beautiful blue and details captured in the feathers.

Great composition, good job with the textures and detail.

I love the angle of this shot, and the crop of it. It seems surprisingly muted, though. I think perhaps because of the spaces in between the feathers? I initially glossed over it, but I'm glad I came back. Really nice shot, lots to look at.
Post actions
Beautiful colors and deatail in the feathers. Would like to see the face a bit more sharp near the eyes. Nice composition. ^6
Post actions
Great colors, but the neck/head seem to get lost in the background. Lightening up his head (lots of shadows there) or using a smaller aperture maybe have helped.
Post actions
Excellent job of capturing the iridescence of the peacock's feathers.
Post actions
doesnt seem that sharp to me
Post actions
They are hard to shoot aren't they? This one seems a bit washed out as far as color goes.
Post actions
Post actions
wish the neck wasnt cropped at the bottom and i dont know whether i should try to focus my eyes on the background or not... larger or shallower DOF would cure my indecision
Post actions
too bad the tail is slightly soft, but the texture on the body is great . also the crop is a little tight, leaving the peacock a little disjointed.

Captured some nice details here
Post actions
nicely shot more eye detail would have kicked this up in scoring
