Back to the Zoo, some peacock feathers.
Again I was trying to find a non standard way of photographing such a beautiful animal.

it really makes you appreciate the inherent beauty of peacocks or nature in general

Good and an interesting perspective, but I'd have liked a touch more DOF. Of course that would make for a much more challenging shot too, since I'm sure the little bugger didn't stay still for too long

I have some recipes for Peacock I am dying to try out.
But that would have been the only option

Not sure more DOF would of been possible given the distance from subject and the likelihood of a shallow DOF. The only option here would be something like the 1DSMKII or D2X where you can be a bit further back from the subject and have more DOF and crop into a 6MP image.
