Always nice to see a shot from home. Nothing wrong with it, but the composition doesnt grab me. Part of htis is the panarama crop and the indistinct border. I think a light thin (1 pixel in width) line between your existing border and the image would have given it more pop. Regarding the composition itself - it's hard to do mountains justice in a full frame shot without a huge high-class lens from a great distance. Perhaps it would have worked better if you had cropped closer to Lions Head and Devils Peak for a squarer frame.
I'll give you 6 - Good luck

** Greetings from the Critique Club **

Pros: I love the contrast and sharp lines. The feathers 'branch' out nicely for a welcome creative twist on the challenge. Focus and DOF are very good. I noticed a commenter or two below that felt the focus was soft - on the contrary it is very sharp as the long feathers have very sharp edges and detail - the smaller feathers are fluffy on a peacock and should look soft. I think you did a great job.

Cons: The small dark clump of feathers in the lower right bottom section are distracting. Not the one in the corner - but the ones further in.
