Peacock

Gallery: Man & FaunaPosted January 30, 2017413 views7 comments

This was in Magnolia Park in Apopka, Florida, about 2-1/2 hours away from me. I've never seen a peacock in a tree and so have never seen the beauty of the waterfall look of the tail feathers. I posted this in the Avian Forum and John Tobias suggested I post it here.

Canon EOS 7D EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS
1/250 sec; f/7.1; ISO 640
Manual; Spot metering
LR5, CS6, Topaz DeNoise on background, Topaz Detail on bird, a small amount taken off the bottom to balance and the right side to decenter

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Gorgeous shapes and colors in the peacock feathers. Although I would prefer more eye contact, this view sure does show off his plumage. They are simply beautiful birds.

Barb,
The POV in this image is very unique from most Peacock images you see and the perspective really works IMO. You managed the harsh back lighting very well and the large version is impressive indeed.
Nicely done . . . laugh
