Really a nice picture. It looks fantastic in the thumbnail but at full size the highlights look blown out. I think the iridescence of the peacock feathers this close might confuse the camera.

Very nice. A little fuzzy in the top right corner. I probably would have cropped that area off. Good job.

nice shot and great idea. The top right is a little too bright in my opinion.

Another beauty. Amazing, these peacock feathers and how far nature goes to create such beauty. Bumping from 5 to 7. Nice work.

This is interesting. The quality of the capture is so good it reveals something of the structure of the feather I never realized before. Thanks. Hope it does well.

This photo looks a bit overexposed causing the colors to be less brilliant than they could be, the blown out spots on the top take away from the photo...
