The Proud Peacock - Oahu - Hawaii

52mm · f/7.1 · 1/160 sec. · ISO 400

(Continued from "The Ant and the Earwig")

One last image, (for now) from our Waimea Valley day trip on Oahu. This peacock had been up in a tree when we entered the park, but on our way out he was strutting around the walkways interested in what appeared to be "Showing Off" to all those passing by. I needed a tight crop as there were people surrounding him for his display of colors.

Frank, excellent however a bit of a cliche however I probably would have give it a try also ;)

Ha...thanks Paul!
I think I have many images that are cliche, and I'm understanding it more and more, yet it doesn't stop me!
I think because I like to take pictures, regardless...but sometimes I get something fresh, I hope!

I hear you loud and proud, after all what is an optimal photograph of anything and is it even ever obtainable? We'll never know without taking another shot ;)
