Courtenay Vanderbilt 6/30/2011 4:59:36 AM

Love how you got both the male and female in this awesome comp, Linda! Most unique peacock image I've seen! #1389212

Marilyn Cornwell 6/30/2011 5:18:38 AM

Wonderful composition and choice of dof, Linda! Such a surreal bird and you've caught the expression to go with it! #9496459

Val Feldman 6/30/2011 5:19:13 AM

LOL! I always get a kick out of how persistently the male vies for her attention and she very coolly acts as tho he's totally invisible! Yep, you captured her aloof nonchalance and "Who cares?"attitude perfectly, Linda - I love it! (Gorgeous color and detail, too, btw!) #9496464

Ron McEwan 6/30/2011 5:23:15 AM

Christopher Budny 6/30/2011 7:00:01 PM

Did you ever see the Terry Gilliam film "Baron Von Munchausen"? In it, the main character pays a visit to Vulcan, who later introduces his wife Venus (a young Uma Thurman, emerging discreetly naked from a giant scallop shell--a memorable entrance!) Anyway, Venus is smitten by the Baron, ignoring her powerful, uber-masculine god-husband. When Vulcan crushes coal into a diamond for her, in his bare hands, she says "Oooh... another diamond" and casually tosses it aside (into a pile of such diamonds.)
This peahen seems to be of the same mindset... "seen one, you've seen them all, those showy, showy males..." ;)
All that to say... What a great capture! #9498054

Neal D. Hatcher 7/1/2011 5:24:36 AM
