Shot in RAW. In conversion adj shadows, contrast, brightness,and details. Opened in photoshop and had to really play between b&c and levels,using tiny increments to try to get the exposure to the point where you could see the eye without overexposing the entire peacock. Used auto sharpen, then sharpened again at .1 and 165. Also adjusted saturation to get rid of the cyan cast and the yellow cast.

really? wow, i've never seen an albino peacock... awesome catch. i would have given higher score if the white "popped" more like on the upper right, but then i guess it would've really blown out that part of it... anyway, great shot!

Nice image, but you've lost a bit of contrast as the eye looks a bit washed out.

Overall, the bird is in a nice pose. However, I find at least 3 problems with the image: 1) the bird's neck/head is underexposed, 2) the far right brightness distracts from bird, and 3) the right third or so of the image isn't interesting. Cropping out the right part of the image would solve 2 and 3 and enhance the image.

In my top three for this challenge. A bit more contrast, perhaps... but still a ten in my book.
