Majestic Peacock

Staphylococcus · 30th April 2004

This peacock is a resident at Ubin. He was pretty co-operative in showing off his plummage.

Good shot, IMHO, perhaps a little adjustment of the contrast and up the saturation like this?

(PS. I have taken the liberty to adjust your shot, but if you have any objection I will remove it)

Cheers

Staphylococcus,

very nice and colorful

would prefer to be same level to the peacock ( lower angle ) and more front view. If you are using SLR/DSLR , push ISO higher and use f8 or smaller

May I ask what would I achieve by using those settings? What would be different? I couldn't get a low-angle shot coz the peacock was in a 1m-high, fenced compound.

To chngpe01: I thought of adjusting the contrast but I find that the pic tends to feel 'burnt', too 'artificial'.

thanks for the comments
