"Throne of Colours"
This picture shows a proud peacock in full splendour, its feathers spread out like a living crown of colours. The intensity of the blues and greens, lightly manipulated in Photoshop and Painter 2020 by Corel for added depth and vibrancy, makes each feather light up like a brush stroke from a living painting. The image exudes confidence, elegance and natural grace - a visual celebration of beauty in the animal world.
