Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Re: Mrs Peacock
I have found peacocks to be one of the most difficult subjects to photograph. They always look like....well, peacocks. At the very least you need to get them fanning their feathers....the sun shining through the feathers from the back so that they glow, and a sympathetic background. And even after all of that they still just look like ...peacocks. I've shot them in colour, black and white, on medium format film. slide film, colour neg film. Still nothing special. A subject that is just beyond me and I'm still waiting to see a knockout peacock image from someone who has more luck than me. Your image looks very similar to many of mine. My guess is that the only way we'll nail this bird is to put it on a golden perch in a house stuffed full of glorious antique fine furniture, the bird lit by a shaft of light piercing through a hand made glass 4 paned window. Shot with a 105mm lens on a Hasselblad 40MP digital camera. Now that just might work.

Re: Mrs Peacock
Thank you for your comments, Matt. Of course, you are aware I don't have any of the above.

How about an axe and a saucepan?
