Peahen Portrait

One should consider to be lucky to have a peahen visit your terrace, in the morning. An unlucky to have just the 180 Tamron macro lens, and no tripod, under cloudy conditions...here is the result..

7D, 180 Tamron

The size reduction did a number on this one, Balan. I almost didn't look at the larger image, but it's worth a look. Nice detail where it counts and I find I like the shadowed crown that makes me look for the detail.

Looks like you made the best of the situation. The color contrast between the two greens is rather eerie but in a good way.

Balan -

You didn't include your shot data, so it's a bit hard to evaluate. The area under thechin andnneck look a little soft in the larger version, but I can't tellif it's a depth of field problem or a focus issue. An interesting portrait, though, and the range of greens is very interesting.

A sharp clean and intimate portrait.
