Peacock Posing

[BJ Denning]

I stumbled onto a peacock being extraordinarily helpful in posing ...

One in color

Model: Canon EOS REBEL T2i
ISO: 400
Exposure: 1/30 sec
Aperture: 5.0
Focal Length: 55mm

And one to practice PP and appling textures

Model: Canon EOS REBEL T2i
ISO: 800
Exposure: 1/80 sec
Aperture: 4.5
Focal Length: 55mm

I'd love any suggestions

Have to confess that the second version appeals to me more. For me, it's got more atmosphere.
