Riveting shot

Excellent shot, hardly showing human emotion though,

How is this an emotion?

Wel i think the peacock is displaying Confidence, Pride, Optimism, Enthrallment, Affection, Joy, Love, Sexual desire, as he tries to impress a mate with his courtship ritual.

I understand your sentiment author, but it does not look so much like that in this image. This, imo, is a shot of peacock feathers, no more, no less.

I AGREE WITH AUTHOR!!! BEAUTIFUL SHOT!

I agree with Kyricom and Ade, Its a lovely shot, and i'm sure another contest will come when you can use it, but not here.

Not all emotions are by facial expression - to me this shows emotion using body language

IT seems your photo quality could have been much better.
