Looks a pretty much perfect specimen Alan - nice detail where it matters :wavey:

Lovely detailed image Alan but I find the flower a bit overpowering.

Very nice indeed. I haven't seen a peacock for weeks and just after viewing this at lunchtime on my works monitor low and behold a peacock appeared and kept flying at the window trying to get in. This went on for about half an hour. :toast:

Nice! For me, a square format would work too. I have tried photographing these in the garden and I wish they would land on something that had a different colour. But they don't :frown:

Lovely shot Alan

I would maybe lose a little of the flower off the RHS as it is a bit overpowering :toast:
