Out of focus. Perhaps you enlarged it beyond the capacity of your lens/sensor.

I very much like the setting for this peacock. I wish the bird were in sharper focus.

That peacock looks like he's trudging off to work. Great catch!

Never seen one wandering in a field like this. Little bit of motion blur, maybe?

Very difficult lighting conditions. I love the depth of the blues on the bird - too bad he's not in better focus.

Hmm... Not sure this one is wild, but a very nice shot- excepting that cursed grass, you really should have considered cloning out that one piece, still really nice shot!
