With the possible exception of the sky, I'd say this was all mid tones.

A little more light on the left would help us see more detail especially in the buckle. Wish I could see what rodeo this was for... :)

The sky is very washed out...

How's that different from a badly overexposed shot?

What a beautiful bird. I'm mesmerized by the beauty of God's creation. Truly beautiful shot and great post processing gives the feeling of a spot light

I am so very pleased for you receiving a ribbon for this awesome image. Perfect lighting, detail, composition, and a wonderful achievement as it is also a personal best score for you Darlene.

I have just returned home from our trip to Melbourne, and so pleased to see that this fine image had ribboned in a "Free Study".

I am so proud of you dear friend.

This is a little dark on the subject. Some fill-light on the left would help.

This is one of those shots that when you initially see it you are stunned by the subtlety of the lighting and impact. Then after viewing it a few times, you find yourself fascinated by the intricacies of the scene. I grew up with peacocks (albeit they were not albinos) and there are few representations that are superior to this rendering. Well done and congratulations on your ribbon.
