You photographed a strongly handicapped man; which is himself photographing a peacock, with a digicam in his mechanical hands. It is a very good photography, seen from the moment, the situation you captured. The picture tells a lot to me. About the man, that behaves self-confidently like he would not be handicapped, and so does the lady, too (his girlfriend?). This makes the couple very sympathic. Neither him nor the lady seem to take any notice from you, that shows for me you have not been offending him. The peacock is absolutely secondary (it's just the other man's subject), but you composed him in a lovely way, what cannot be said about the background and the pot a the right foreground. The highly saturated colors and the very deep DOF indicates me you might have used a digital camera? Anyway, I enjoyed your picture very much, and thank you for posting it, Didier >http://users.2alpha.com/~pklein/currentpics/06PeacockCouple.htm >Your comments welcome. >--Peter
