PoW! 14th Week

Dancing with an icon, kissing on the sun,
peacock with a butt fan
A graceful lady's gait, a lifetime soul mate,
a tail's majestic state
I laud in admiration, envy their devotion,
Gawk at a feathery illusion
In a lively dance of life, an image of true love,
A fowl with a showy move.

Here are this week's FPC's PoW!s, in no order of preference:

Editor's Comment: A Perfect Wedding Moment. The composition of the photo, the Silhouette deserves a thumbs up. Great Job.

Editor's Comment: Peacocks are very colorful animals and perhaps the primary objective when photographing them is presenting those colors in their most vivid glory. The picture above did just that and the concentric arrangement of wonderful patterns on its feathers drew my eyes to the animals vibrant blue head.


"Dance with an Icon (suggested)"
by: [2]rokbot[2]y
Sony DSC-R1, 1/1250, f/5.6, 71.5mm, ISO 160

Editor's Comment: Marvin holds an ace with one of the most vibrant photo of the Sinulog Festival. The proliferation of patterns and colors do not create a chaotic whole. Instead they enhance the primary subject who already has a captivating smile and gesture.

Looking at this photo makes me feel that I am missing a lot of great photographic oppotunities. However, the skill by which this one was captured may just be... well, making me feel like that.
