Photographer's Note
The common peafowl (Pavo cristatus), also known as peafowl, Indian peafowl or blue-breasted peafowl, is a species of galliform bird of the Phasianidae family, one of the two species of the genus Pavo, which since times Ancients stood out among the animals admired by man because of the extraordinary polychrome fan that constitutes the tail of the males.
The peacock is native to South Asia, found throughout the Indian subcontinent and in dry areas of Sri Lanka, mainly at altitudes below 1800 meters, inhabiting regions close to 2000 m on rare occasions. They live in both wet and dry deciduous forests, but adapt to life in growing regions and around human populations, often where water is available.
Some authors suggest that this species was introduced to Europe by Alexander the Great, while others believe that it was already in Ancient Greece around 450 BC. C., being able to be introduced even before. Since then, it has been introduced to many other parts of the world, becoming wild in some areas.
In the gardens of Aranjuez, which are so large, they live practically in freedom.

El pavo real común (Pavo cristatus), también conocido como pavón real, pavo real de la India o pavo real de pecho azul, es una especie de ave galliforme de la familia Phasianidae, una de las dos especies del género Pavo, que desde tiempos antiguos destacó entre los animales admirados por el hombre a causa del extraordinario abanico policromado que constituye la cola de los machos.
El pavo real es originario del sur de Asia, encontrándose por todo el subcontinente indio y en zonas secas de Sri Lanka, principalmente en altitudes inferiores a los 1800 metros , habitando en regiones cercanas a los 2000 m en raras ocasiones. Viven en bosques caducifolios tanto húmedos como secos, pero se adaptan a la vida en regiones de cultivos y alrededor de poblaciones humanas, frecuentemente donde hay disponibilidad de agua.
Algunos autores sugieren que esta especie fue introducida en Europa por Alejandro Magno, mientras que otros creen que se encontraba ya en la Antigua Grecia por el año 450 a. C., pudiendo ser introducida incluso antes. Desde entonces, ha sido introducido en muchas otras partes del mundo, llegando a ser salvaje en algunas zonas.
En los jardines de Aranjuez, que son tan grandes viven prácticamente en libertad.

You composed and processed this to become like a work of art just as much as a photo of a bird. It is an original photo and very attractive. No doubt one of the most special photos of the day on the site.

Hola Luis,
Everyone loves to see a peacock with its tail extended.
Most people would show the entire bird but this close-up is very different and therefore very interesting.
The peacock has a good catchlight in its eye with fine colours details.
With some details of the tail feather crossing the neck, your photograph creates a very artistic effect, very much like a painting than a photograph.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)
