 This handsome stud was showing off for the ladies. I can hear the Barry White, can you? I'll probably get hit for including the blue.

Hello from Ãlex, CTP MkII

First Impression: What a explosion of color!!! Great shot
Composition: really impressive, works right the body of the peacock on the middle of the image.
Subject: very appropiate for the challenge
Technical: the colors are stunning, the focus alnd light good.
Improvement: difficult, let me think... well... maybe that the peacock was giving you a profile.
Summary: Really great photo. Congrats.

First impression:
Lovely looking Peacock. Yes and it is green all over.
What can you do better?
IMO when shooting a bird the details in the feathers must come through. In this case you show it all but there are details missing. Maybe a closer view (more details) of its head with few green feathers in the background or in front would have scored better. Also if you had caught a female bird in front or just something that would make this picture more than just a lovely bird.
I saw a good thread here on DPC yesterday:

hi from ctp2:

This is gorgeous! I love it! I can't think of any "critique" other than maybe it wasn't quite green enough for a green challenge? Great shot!

Wonderful! Love the the extreme focal point and the vibrat colors! Green? Well, there is some green in it, but it doesn't yell green at me.

Quite mesmerizing.

I'm bumping this higher due to the lack of originality in 80% of the photos. A simple but brilliant take on the challenge.

Show-off!

Great colours, love that you filled the frame, well done.

This is stunning. I love the tight crop too - having the frame filled with feathers works really well. I expect to see this on the front page on results day!!

Striking capture. Love the fact that blue is another element in this shot without taking away from the green.

Wow - lots of action here. Great shot!

fantastic catch, however the blue seems to take the stage more than the green.

This is an incredible picture, but the blue catches my eye before the green.
