(Finalist May '09 - Elements of Design)
A split second before I clicked the shutter, this peacock pecked at the ground revealing this sensational straight-on view of its incredibly rich and multicolored feather train. You can see the (dark) crown/head feathers of the peacock in the center-bottom part of the frame. Slightly adjusted and sharpened in PSCS2.
