Donna, I think it's all been said but let me add my GREAT SHOT also!! #67861Donna R. Moratelli May 26, 2019
Hi Murry, Thank you so much for the very kind comments. I really appreciate it.Hi Diana, Thank you very much also. In regard to the color, No,< This is the coloring of every single peacock image in my RAW files. I was pleasantly suprised when he displayed his feathers. The only thing that I did was saturate the natural color by ten percent in photoshop. I over exposed the image by one half stop when I shot it to bring out the color in the origional picture too because he was standing at the edge of a barn in the shade.. #67875

Beautiful shot, Donna! I've never seen a peacock this color in my life..not even in a magazine! How unusual he is! He's so beautiful! You're right about their movements...they are quick! He's just trying to impress the ladies! Good luck! #68082Donna R. Moratelli May 26, 2019

Thanks for the all of the comments on this peacock display. I was very fortunate to have captured him at the time that I did. I managed to get a lot of these images and I'm not even fond of birds. He was a very unique and beautiful bird though..Thanks again! #83197Gary H. Minish May 26, 2019
