Over the Shoulder

Posted by AG (London, United Kingdom) on 7 September 2006 in Animal & Insect.

If you are a peacock, I guess you have to do a lotta preening. Angling for a more conventional pose, I was suddenly presented with this over-the-shoulder shot which turned out to be much more interesting. Peacock knows best.

* Thanks to All for your Comments on this one.
It was not the shot I was after at the time but working with animals and all that . . . which reminds me, while my attention was on the peacock, squirrels stole my lunch, too.[reply]AG @ 2006-09-12 10:25:37

* I love peacocks. the colors of the feathers are amazing. I have a few peacock feathers here at home that fell (naturally, don't worry) from a peacock walking about in India. A peacock for a pet, can you imagine that?[reply]christine @ 2006-09-14 18:46:28

* Thanks, Christine. I have 'lived' with peacocks and have a couple not far from where I live now. Strange, highly-strung birds.[reply]AG @ 2006-09-14 19:16:13

* Beautiful colors and excellent DoF to show them off.[reply]Jeff @ 2006-09-18 10:59:35

* Thanks, Jeff. It wasn't the shot I was after but it turned out better![reply]AG @ 2006-09-18 11:51:54
