Peacocks and Ducks at Normamby

[Markyboy1]

Taken during a couple of hours Togging at a local country park, I took these with an old Sigma 70-210 the only PP they've had was a little sharpening and added a little clarity. I think they are pretty sharp. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Hi Mark , great looking set of images , the colour and exposure of the Peacock shot's are spot on but the focus of number 3 is just a bit off and number 2 is showing signs of over sharpening , really like number 1 but it's a real shame his crest isn't nice neat and central .
Nicely captured shots of the duck stretching , the composition of the first one works better than the second but that's just my preference .

I think the color on #1 is great, but I like that the peacock's head is in profile in #3. Maybe it's not that the color is much different, but that the first photo has more of the body of the peacock in it so the photo overall seems to have more color?

Thank You Mark and Jill, the first one is my favourite of the peacocks as for the #2 the colour looks different after posting it than it does on my pc. The duck shots I knelt for ages waiting for onebof them to jump in to the water and every time I looked away one jumped (awkward little sods) lol
Thank you for the comments
