The glamour glow really works well with this

I love these guys.... I have a few pictures of some where they were walking around the zoo with their feathers spread all out... amazing colors.

Yes, voters were really stupid in this challenge. I did a self-DQ on a similar image of a bird. Sometimes, I don't know about the voters here. I reallly like your image.

Those birds are beautiful (even the legs).

Never heard of the peacock problem but what a fascinating read! Thanks for the link. Gorgeous shot, too. I very much like the non-traditional pose.

A very good image of the peacock, i like the way you have chosen not to give it the more usual pose....with tail raised. beautiful colours.

I don't understand the reference, but I like the image and the processing.

What a mag-nifi-cent picture. Love the pp, everything, but I'm sure you get a lot of DNMC's. I don't get it either, but it still is great

love the picture - has nothing to do with money

Ok I will go with a peacock representing money in the olden days when it was served up at banquets by the royals and the wealthy. In that way I guess it was associated with wealth and money. 5

As with several other shots in this challenge, this is a great looking shot, but I do not get the correlation to money from looking at this.
I google'd and closest i could find was a store name peacocks and a company that seems to be a money transfer place....but i don't think it's a globally known company, so it will likely be lost on many.
i'd give this a 7 for the image alone, but as i had to put in time to research how this pertains to money I feel that it misses the mark on criteria overall since it's not readily apparent that peacock = $$$.
4/10.

I adore this but can't figure how it relates to the challenge.
