Wow...what a beautiful animal. I would have liked to maybe have seen this bird's face a little more from the side. What wonderful detail.

Jim Thanks for your comments. I have some from the side but the bird was not in any action and I love the way you can see his windpipe in the back of this throat. you can only appreciate if you look at large image. I will try to post some of the shots from the side. Mark

You must be very proud of this shot. It is an animal shot I like and has much more to it then just a quick snap.

 

Good work

Very beautiful shot Mark!! Ciao Anna

When I first started surfing I found many sites with photos of many things and many places - now that I've found PN I never stray. Reason - nothing I've seen beats what you guys (that includes girl-guys) produce - and Mark, here is a perfect example!

 

I would have seen numerous images of peacocks in my lifetime, and nothing comes close to the beautiful detail and action portrayed here. A fairly common pose by this bird, and photographed frequently - but never as dynamically as this. It's brilliant! Only one that comes anywhere near is one I acquired of a pure white fella "mooning" around, i.e. back-on. Different and fluffy - but not a patch on this!!

I just took a look at it again, in large mode, and I agree, it's very cool the way the windpipe shows up. Just makes me say again, what great detail this photo has :)

great expression makes the photo. the positioning of the bird in the frame is well done also. Good job

Great Print, I love the color and the crispness of it, you can see each feather!!!

I had a freind who recently passed away who could mimick this guy's sound perfectly. He would have loved this. You don't catch one of these with his mouth that wide open very often. Magnificent.

He was making so much yaking -- you could see down his airpipe.
