I figured shooting something other than Easter rabbits would be fun today. First time using the flash in full sun and all I can say is, it really makes a difference and I think gives sharper edges?


Thoughts?

    Very nice captures Scott, well done.

    They suppose to impress the female with their display of beauty.
    I don't know if he succeeded doing so, but he surely impressed me.


    Question: How can a beautiful bird like this have such unsexy legs?

    I just thought they all looked like blue turkey's so I was thinking smoked turkey legs when I shot it!



    Thanks for all the kind words. This was fun shooting.

    Had you been a Roman, you would have roasted the whole bird. Pavone (Peacock) was a delicacy. Along woth honey dipped roasted dormice. :)

    Yum!

    I tried the peacock the other day myself. Photographing, not eating :)

    You did GREAT! Flash helps out a lot here!
