It’s that time of year again and these guys really know how to put on a show! Today was no exception! I managed to get a side shot through his own tail feathers. The White Peafowl breeds from India and are the rarest and feathers can reach a sale price of $500.00 per feather.

richardseah
Hey when did you post this? I missed it earlier. Absolutely gorgeous! Great point of view, composition, colors (of lack of them) etc etc. A masterpiece!
Blair Wainman replied
Thanks Richard!! I appreciate your great comments…and support!!
richardseah
I think you can post this to lots more groups, eg Nirvana, High Key, Art of Intrigue…
Blair Wainman replied
Thanks…I was looking through the groups yesterday and signed up for a few…I sometimes don’t know whether they fit or not so often don’t add them. I’m a member of both Nirvana and High Key but this High Key, I don’t understand! Art of Intrigue is a new one to me…must go and check that one out!
richardseah
I am quite sure Nirvana will accept this :-)
High key is puzzling. Once, a group did a high key challenge, but the cover image used for illustration is like opposite of high key. High key means image that is mostly bright and white, with little contrast between light and dark areas. This image fits in very well.
Art of Intrigue is a bit vague, but they are flexible and accept most images that are not straight forward, as long as slightly “intriguing”. This one again fits well, in my (not so) humble opinion ;-)
Blair Wainman replied
Thanks Richard…will give this a try!! Thanks too for the explanation!!
Sharon Mau

G’day Blair!
What a refreshing and delightful approach to such a common subject.
You patience in making this shot is to be commended.
The composition, exposure, selective focus and use of depth of field are excellent.
Most interesting and enjoyable viewing.
