The bird is indeed beautiful. Its colors are fascinating. The details of its body and plumage are well refined. The photo is focused and has good exposure. The unobtrusive background emphasizes the bird. The bird is excellently placed into the frame. The composition is balanced.

Beautiful colors on this bird. Nice cpature of the full body showing fab feather details. I do wish you lightened the eye a tad. Fine shot Fred of a bird I may never see in person.
Well done =)

Wow! Most beautiful bird.....stunning capture of color. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. Your diffused background compliments your work beautifully. A good entry into the Colorful Photography Contest and best wishes. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

I would enjoy seeing this bird in person!! This is a great colored bird Fred - lucky you! Your exposure shows off the colors nicely. I can see the familiar blue roller feathers on this guy too.

Comment from Audrey Ogles


It's clear it's crisp , there's nothing wrong with it. It's against a plain , single coloured sky in the background which makes the bird stand out even more. There's no interference from anything in the photo. The bird is the subject. it's just perfect !

Comment from Neilnap773


this is one very colourful plumage and one I've not come across before and this could very well be a contest winner as you've captured the pastel colours beautifully with fine focusing and structure

The NBC peacock shrank in the rain. What a cool bird, full of color. I am sure this is also a form of camouflage for this darling. Nice shot showing all of the features in a natural setting. Good focus, great detail and color. Well done!!

Your very lucky to have captured this beautiful bird in the wild, the colours are saturated but very natural, the bird stands out clearly and in a natural setting,
It is also well balanced in the scene and framed for maximum
Impact. A pleasure to view.
