Proud Peacock

[dkord]

The Woodland Park Zoo has been doing construction around their West Gate. But of all places to find this guy, it was in the enclosed construction area. Had to stick my lens in between the chain link fence to capture this.

Love the shot, and the effort it took to take it. Fantastic colors.

He was probably bored, so he gave you the Big Show! ;-)

:lol: Yeah he did, thanks. Some kids came up the walk a few minutes later and he casually folded everything up and walked away: guess he knew who was carrying the camera!

Thanks GTogs.

Thats what i was thinking :cool:

Lovely shot :)

Thank you Alan. I think the fence helped me out in that respects.
I don't have a long lens so I needed to get closer to the peacock, the fence gave him a sense of security.

Nice shot! Well worth the effort of the fence!

Very nice

increase saturation and contrast to boost the color.

Thanks Mega, the color as is now is more natual to my memory. Maybe it'll "pop" more.

Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll play around with it. My eyes don't see color well :(

I'm slightly red/green challange; always afraid of over doing it.

Nice colors Mega...ok here's a redo: Probably still a little conservative, but like I said; my eyes aren't that good.:confused:
