Madame Peacock
Hi to all,
here I show you a picture I took last week.
Here in Innsbruck we have a castle with a
wonderful garden around. There live a few
peacocks. I tried to get a portrait. They have
a minimum distance of about two, three meters.
I tried to direct her to a fitting background.
Seems to be easy, but it wasnt. They always hold the distance.
Canon 20D EF 100-400 handheld

I know its not a wild bird, for me its a good training.
Thanks for looking, C and C always welcome.

Greetings
Bertl Menegoni

Hi Bertl

It's a fine photo but it should be Monsieur Peacock not Madame :biggrin:

Wonderful colour Bertl. He looks a bit snooty.
