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.

    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.

Great idea to use the feathers as a background.

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

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

the males just look proud and magnificent when they fan their feathers like that.

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

    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 : (

    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.
