nice, perhaps a little too saturated.
Its got really nice composition, just feels a little unreal due to the harsh vibrancy.
Peacock feathers are made to have such colors, very bright and reflective...
I'll try to post a picture taken from close of the 'eye' of the feather.... it does look a little unreal...
This is a very nice presentation of the male flirting with the female...
Hmm. why did I say flirting with a female....
I had a male peacock once who used to flirt (open it's tail that way) and do the nuptial dance not only to the female, but to anything he would see.... an empty bucket, a log.....anything random....
I own a couple of peacocks at home and I'll give you a lot of credit for that pictures, cause they are not that easy to take!
Did you try to crop the picture to fill up the screen with the feathers only and avoiding any background?
I'm sorry but I used your picture and tried to crop it using paint at work and I am not very familiar with this....
But this is what I kinda mean by it (I'm sure you can do 500% better... I was just trying to show this as exemple...)
