Artist's Comments

Ok, so I got to go to the LA Arboretum with a friend of mine today. It began as a beatufiul day, perfect for picture taking. By the end of the day it was cloudy and overcast and I was having some difficulty with landscape shots. Oh well. I took over 400 pictures, there's bound to be a few in there.

The male from Courtship. I can't believe he let me get so close, they usually took off if you got within a 10 feet of them but there were those brave few out for a free meal or too intent on whatever female was nearby. lol

Wow - you've been busy! Lots of very nice photos :)

This is my favourite of the peacock photos - I like the subtle blur in the foreground - it gives the photo some excellent depth - well done. Nice composition too

I like the slight blur in the front and the back. It gives the photo a layered look. It's strange how the peacock gave itself it's own background.

Thanks! I really liked this one too, he was the BIGGEST HAM! He knew he was gorgeous and kept showing off everytime we got near to him.

he sorta had reason to show off - he has beautiful feathers!!
they're right, the blurring in front allows the viewer to appreciate the depth and magnificence of his plumage... he's just sorta gorgeous, ya know? :D

Awwww, thank you!

I agree, this shot worked out very nicely. What a ham he was!
