And I really must agree, white peacocks are SO beautiful! I still have my white peacock feather in a my little wooden treasure chest here.

This is so soft and shimmery and lovely. I've never actually seen a white peacock in real life, but like white stags, they're beautiful and a little creepy all at once, like something we mere mortals are not meant to see. They have so much magic and myth associated with them, and I think you've captured some of that here.

I love peafowl, I think their presence and their haunting calls are so beautiful. When I'm older I want to have a bit of property so that I can care for a bunch of animals including some peafowl. I think you really captured the glowing quality of the white peacock's show. I also love the almost violet tinge to the whole piece, it makes it that much more ethereal and myustical in its natural beauty.

When I was little we used to go to the zoo and they had white peacocks there. Though most of them were female. I like this image a lot. thr white is very strong, but it sort of misses some contrast as well. At least that is the way it seems to me. either way it is still beautiful.

Beautiful. I like how only the head is in focus and with detail. I don't mind lack of contrast in this instance as it seems to add to the high key effect but making that head pop forward more from whats behind it would add to it me thinks.
:iconnightmare-v:
it looks very softly :lol:

Lovely, ghostly feel. Love that head detail, gorgeous for a comparatively small painting! :)
