More peacocks (I know), this time easier to recognize.
And a ravishing beauty.

I really like peacock-2, especially with a very light crop to eliminate the non-peacock area in the lower right and a little area in each of the other two sides.

I like Peacock 1 & 2 very much. Nice work.

Thanks.
The zoo was full with "free" peacocks and the light was mostly right. The problem was the damn birds don't sit still when they show off, they keep moving and mostly rotating, so getting the focus and the framing right was more difficult then I would have liked. And the X-T1 is a good camera but fast focus is not its first attribute that comes in mind.
