My neighbour Leon the peacock

dexdex · 23rd of May 2007 (Wed)

PowerShot G7, F=7 mm, f/4.0, 1/125 sec, flash fill-in. Hard times to compress it down to the 100k limit (uncropped original: 5 MB !). Comments welcome. Dex

Very nice, would be better with the FFF.....full feather foliage

Cool shot. The feathers look like a whole lot of eyes staring at you.

Neat shot ... They are certainly neat birds, aren't they?

For C&C I'd add that on my monitor it appears a bit over saturated in both green and blue.

Thanks for your comments:
FFF: good point; unfortunately, the surrounding is not that romantic, so I cropped into the feathers
Saturation: you're right. I reduced the saturation for a print-out on an HP. My monitor (laptop) is guilty

This is a very good shot... Even with the feather tips excluded...
I really like these colors...

Hereafter the full picture, just sized and compressed, no other pp.

Wow, he's huge!

I bet that looks fantastic uncompressed.

That's just amazing how nature created that creature. Designed to be photographed.
