Peacock

I'm a patient man, really I am. But as patient as I am, this
peacock gave me quite a trial. He simply would NOT turn and
face me with his beautiful feathers extended. All I could get
was his backside. Then I realized -- a peacock from the front
is a common image. Beautiful, perhaps, but common. How many
have you seen from the other side?

Great shot Gary;would not like to meet you and your 300D in a sauna ;-)

I really like the symmetry in this ....
I've had the same thing happen .. I think peacocks do that on purpose ... they see a camera and get all 'cocky'!

WOW! Terrific shot Gary! Excellent angle!
Wonderful colors and details. Bravo!
Cheers

Oh, hysterically fun ... and so true! His 'behind' view is quite stunning ... I love it! :)

Only you, Gary, would show us the underside of the most beautiful bird around, and have it come out so well. This is just great.

I'm sitting here laughing! This is the funniest PaD shot I've seen for a while, as well as being a good shot in and of itself. :-)

Quite risque and provocative.
Or maybe not.
Seriously though, great idea and good capture.
Guest 14-Apr-2005 16:20
This is delightful, hahaha!

Is this peacock actually mooning us?! What an interesting display no matter which side up.
Robin Reid14-Apr-2005 13:53
Right on GW.. very different view. ...new for me as you predicted. Well done by you! A feather in your cap!! ;-)
Guest 14-Apr-2005 13:11
A different perspective of the peacock for sure! I like it. A nice study in lines and texture.
Guest 14-Apr-2005 12:57

Last week I had the luck to walk around a peacock. So his back isn't new for me but I like it very much you made it your PAD. And the shot is great.
Guest 14-Apr-2005 07:18
hahahah I was going to say the same thing, how many times have we seen a peacock from the front? Good job Gary
