A peep so elusive, so rare, that in fact I couldn't find one and had to use an ordinary yellow (but very dignified) peep. Cropped, sharpened, adjusted the levels, used a channel mixer adjustment layer in PSP to set the color.

I only got one shot off before I gave into temptation and ate it and, unfortunately, the singular photo turned out a bit dark.

Not sure about the migratory habits of peeps, but I believe they're found pretty much everywhere on earth. If not, send me your address and I will see if I can get you some.

The topic is certainly unique and the centered composition works very well for this subject. Making the orange vibrant and brighter would have worked nicely in strenghthening the artificial nature of peeps' color. Overall, very nice.

OH I LOVE THESE!! :) (patiently waiting for Easter...)
I think the image could be a bit bolder with minor adjustments in contrast or levels.

This reminds me of one of the funniest websites I've ever seen: //www.peepresearch.org/smoking.html

Photographically, it could be exposed about a half of a stop more, and the centered composition doesn't make the subject very exciting. However, you've managed a perfectly black background, which always makes a subject jump out more - I like that a lot.
