Really nice. Who would have thought to desaturate something so naturally full of color? The counterintuitive nature of the treatment is what really makes this image. And you’ve also done a double-twist by presenting something so symmetrical in an asymmetric manner. This is so cool. You know, I took a quick look at the post very early this morning and then had to go out to do a few things. I was driving home and remembered that I had to respond to your post … it was very easy to remember the image … unforgettable. I can see it, enlarged, in a minimally-appointed living room … on a blank, white, wall. Very cool indeed. D

Thank you very much, Dave. Your comment means a lot. This was an experiment for me, and I’m so glad you find that it works! 🙂

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a monochrome rendition of the eye in a peacock feather–what a terrific idea, and what a striking image you’ve created!

I wonder how a pea hen would react to this.

It’s just absolutely beautiful! I love it. The shading, the tones, everything is perfect here. There is even a hint of color around the eye! Impressive, Lemons! 🙂

I’m so glad you like it, George. I’m also glad that the bit of color comes through. I was afraid I might have toned it down just a bit too much. 🙂 I’m still experimenting with the others. 😉
