The colors and detail in this are very nice! I like how the tail is blurred and leads the eyes in to the background. Such interesting designs on the feathers and you captured the crest pretty well -which I think can be a difficult thing to do, in my experience :)

This image is just fabulous. I really enjoy the framing - perfectly played! Wonderful natural and capturing color, the lighting is fantastic as well. Grand focus - detail is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Good Luck!

Lemme give you my two cents worth...

Usually I'm on you about cropping out a portion of the photo... but, I really think this one works! That vague tail is pretty neat --- and the rest of the frame is razor sharp.

I think this is one of your best shots mostly because there isn't any over editing on it. The exposure is show all the details of this guy. The focus is remarkable on everything forward as the dof fades. The head feathers, the face and the front blue feathers show me what a peacock should look like. Very nice capture and thanks for sharing.
