 The purpose of submitting this photo into the Free Study challenge is for feedback on the post processing more than anything else as I am still trying to figure out what works and doesn't. I played around with some layers in an attempt to enhance the peacock's plumage as the main focal point of the image.

I gave this a 6 during the challenge...The off-center composition works well, but to me the image is oversaturated and overly sharpened. Peacocks have such natural beauty that to me, thee crazy saturation just takes away from the splendor of mother nature.

Beautifully composed - possibly the most appealing peacock shot I've seen.

good placement of the peacock's head must of been quite the show he was putting on, the bold/bright colors are a little over done for me

A little over processed, I think. Too bright. But that's just my opinion

Wonderful! I like that you filled the frame and the focus and detail are great. It seems a bit washed out to me, is this HDR?
