Blair, WOW, this looks like this Mrs. Peacock is getting ready for her wedding vows! Unbelievably gorgeous! What a shot! It makes you wonder if this is the inspiration for a bride? Great composition. It's like this peacock posed for you! Wonderfully regal! VF
Blair Wainman replied:
Thank you so much Kym!! This guy really did pose for me...I'm sure of it!! He wouldn't do it when others were around but I was around enough and he would turn just at the right time and in many cases open his tail feathers too!! I have others of this guy in my portfolio here on FAA.

Blair, What an elegant capture! It is almost as if he is posing for you. Your composition and detail are tremendous, an excellent work of art. Love it! v/f
Blair Wainman replied:
Thank you Deb!!n This guy was used to seeing me around and he literally changed his disposition and put on the pose for me that he wouldn't do for others!! Pretty smart I think!! Thanks for your vote and fave!!

Well Blair, did you ask it sit so and turn it's head or what!! hehe. What a grand pose it did for you....maybe you have some inside kind of knowledge about getting critters to pose so elegantly and you're not going to tell us. It couldn't have been anymore perfect than that except maybe to put a golden halo around it's head! Wonderful and beautiful shot! v/f

You are so intuitive Jann!! This guy (too bad he and the rest of the gang aren't around any more) really knew how to put on a show and I spent enough time around him to catch him in the right spot at the right time!! I miss them all!! Don't know what happened to them (all in the botanical gardens here in Bogota. Thanks so much for your great comments!!
