    Not only brilliant colours, with the eyes widely spaced, but also I love the way you’ve created the illusion of a never-ending backcloth to the peacock’s head and neck.

      Thank you very much.
      I was lucky that the peacock was posing long enough to try out different things how to photograph it.

        You are very welcome. I would buy this one in print, if/when you make it available.

          Thank you again.

          I already marked it for uploading it to my shop.
          I’m not sure if I can manage today – but I will try to upload it next week. I will send you a message then.

            No rush. I will order it when and if I go to Germany.

    Great idea to use the feathers as a background.

    These are amazing creatures I think. Great photo 🙂

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Yes, they are.

      Thank you very much for the compliment, Peter.

    Very exquisite capture, excellent balance of imagery, even if the “weight” tends leftward, the colours within the idea are compensating the equilibrium.

      Thank you very much.
      Luckily the peacock was posing for a long time – so I could try out some “new” ways to photograph it.

    strikingly beautiful…cobalt blue is one of my favourite colours!

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you.

      Yes, cobalt blue is an amazing colour.

    so full of colour!
    the males just look proud and magnificent when they fan their feathers like that.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you.

      Yes, and they are always a bit difficult to photograph as a whole – and so I had to come up with other ideas.

      1. ken and agnes photoworks Avatar

        i have tried a couple of times photographing them without much success, they simply refused to fan open when you want them to, no matter what i try – frustration : (

        1. rabirius Avatar

          I know, you have to have some luck. But I noticed that when they fan open, it is quite hard to photograph them.
          But you can also try to photograph them otherwise – in fact, my very first blog post was a peacock that wouldn’t fan open. If you like to take a look you will find the peacock here.
