Wonderful photo! I like how the blue from the feathers is also present in the background. The bokeh is really pretty and the light shines beautifully. I like the composition, too. The one thing I'm not so sure about is the focus. The peacock's head doesn't look perfectly sharp to me and I guess that you may have focused on the chest instead. Luckily, the depth of field isn't too shallow so it isn't that visible but maybe work on that next time

All in all, I love it!

Thank you for the comments, the peacock was moving at the time so I was trying to keep focus, it was also hand held so may be a little shake there too.


Must try harder

The feathers on the chest look perfectly sharp to me so I think you managed to hold the camera still. I understand how difficult it can be to focus when the animal is moving, one just has to take many photos to, hopefully, end up with this perfect one

I can see that you're getting better
