Ha Ha Ha I just love the bright colors. And the fact the peacock is screaming at you makes it perfect. Fantastic.

I don't think I've seen one with the mouth wide open like that. Great catch and color.

About as vivid as it gets. Just a bit soft and a little overexposed.

Nicely composed. The open mouth or beak really makes this shot.

I originally scored this a 7 but after looking at it again, it's a very impressive shot.

Terrific shot - but unfortunately on my screen looks oversaturated.

Nice crop and detail though.

Brilliant capture on the expression and those colours are just fantastic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

He looks a bit peeved. Maybe more than a bit ;-) Great pose and composition. Blues, greens and yellows look oversaturated on my monitor.

Wow - great capture! Brilliant colours.

I find the colours a bit bright. Great composition but my first impression was "whoa! where'd I put my sunnies?" ;)

He looks like a New Zealand peacock too. A North Island variety if I'm not mistaken. So, where do we find this type of Peacock? Auckland Zoo? Western Springs? Shapespear park? ;)

In all seriousness I think that you'll have trouble passing this off as "wild" as most people will think "She just found one at the local xyz".

PS: Not voting.
