Artist's Comments

I think white Peacocks are rather rare, so I was fortunate to see this one.

Gorgeous image. but lacks a little sharpness needed in that kind of pic, I think :blahblah:

I see you resized your pics. I always wanted to tell you but I got used to do it in the upper bar and usually forgot. :laughing:

I am slowly going through the whole lot and resizing them. Perhaps more people will look at them and comment if they don't have to scroll up and down and side to side.

I didn't realise that others could tell what I was doing. So does everyone who is 'watching' me get the message that a picture has been altered in any way.

Resizing is a good thing I used to make the pic smaller by bringing it in the upper bar of my page but it's not everybody that know the trick. A freind showed to me.

As for altering the pics, everybody I know do it and it's normal. When I used to make paper prints I used to alter them a lot, by the use of chemicals, paper grades, and other manip. I do the same when the pic is in my computer. =D

Yes I did a lot of manipulating in the dark room too, but these days, there seems to be a lot of people on DV who don't like to see manipulation of any kind, especially with Photoshop.

90% of the pics are manipulated.

Levels, Curves, brightness/contrast are not manips they are corrections.

Let say you have a very nice composition of a subject you'll never see again but you took it so fast it's over-exposed You delete it ??????

I dont !!!!

Photo manip is when you change a pic to an extend that it doesnt look "normal" anymore. IF you do that (and I do it sometimes) you submit it in the photomanipulation category and everybody is happy.

Thank you for your very nice comments.
I read that White peacocks make up less than one percent of the world peacock population, so we are fortunate to have these in Western Australia.
