Thanks everyone for your comments, I realize that this image could be interpreted several ways. I wasnt going to enter this, but i didnt have anything better. I can completely understand eveyones views, because i wasnt sure myself about what to consider as the subject.
Thanks again for all you comments and time |

| Excellent shot. The converging feathers do a great job of making the subject pop out. |

| Beautiful bird and beautiful picture, not very minimalist but still the blue body of the bird makes the small thing. |

| I really like this image but it seemed like it could be great with a little work so I played with it a little and low and behold I couldn't make it all the much better either. Funny how some images are just like that. Certainly without basic editing it would be possible to have more contrast but in the right places. The pattern and textures are amazing but somewhat lost in the flatness of the image. Perhaps a slight bit darker in levels would help too. Still, an excellent capture and great entry for the challenge. |

| Beautiful capture but it doesn't meet the challenge. The subject fills the image. |

I like this picture, but I feel like I've seen it 100 times. Usually I'm ok with that, it's just that it does take the punch out of seeing it when I've seen so many just like it.
Also, the eye is more attracted to the feathers than the body of the bird, so i'd say the subject is the feathers more than the body, and in that case, it wouldn't fit the challenge.
But I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, so I'll just give you a 5. |

| You title says it all. Your subject is surrounded by beauty but so much that it takes the eye away from the subject, IMO. Very Nice capture with nice composition and colors. As I have said many times this is a hard challenge to vote. And I am torn from my regular voting pattern because of the definition of 'minimalism' and the challenge details. I would of scored this higher if there would of been more detail in the subject making it stand out. To me it seems kind of flat [subject]. But still I find it a good shot and think you did a good job. I hope this comment is not confusing, It was one of the hardest comments I had to make so far. I looked at this picture a long time and was pulled in both directions. I have to go with how I feel about the picture and thats a 6 or 7. The beauty within the picture i have to score it a 7. Good luck in the challenge. |

| Wow! Marvelous colors. You must have been waiting a while for the peacock to open up so wide. |

| I had to look at this one twice. My initial instinct was that your subject takes up the entirety of the photo, which goes against the challenge guidelines. But then I looked again and thought that perhaps the "subject" was the body of the peacock, rather than the feathers as well. You have a decent focus on the peacock, but I think that it might be hard for some people to know if you intend the body as the subject or the entirety of the bird. |

| This is a wonderful shot, however I seem to be getting pulled into the detail of the feathers more than the smaller head area. A fasinating composition and presentation nonetheless. |

| Pretty good shot, good DOF and colours are quite good. However, I have seen so many similar Peacock shots that this isn´t particularly interesting for me personally. You need something original to appeal to me but still very well done technically and the composition is good so I gave it a 7. |

| Great shot! I think you did a great job on getting all the detail and being minimal. I hope this one does well. I am giving it a 10! |

| Very appealing and original image. The fact that the feathers produce a pattern in which the subject emerges is a very clever one - nice approach of the challenge. Moreover, it has beautiful saturated colors and vrey good ocmposition. Good job. |

| not sure about meeting the challenge as the bird is the subject and fills the frame, but I also don't let that affect my voting too much. nice picture! |
