About Speed was 100 ASA. Not really fast. Shutter speed 1/500 sufficient for a capture of a hilarious match between a peacock and a Parisienne.
Finally the Parisienne was the winner in colorfulness ... and in speed.

P.S. I hesitated to put this pic in category wildlife :-) as I was not in The Kruger Parc, but in Parc Bagatelle in Bois de Boulogne, Paris.

Thank you dear Nick for your kind comment on my subjects and their special common or opposite relation I´m always trying to catch.
You see many type of styles, motivations and varied technical skills on UF but you very well described the essential of my drive in capturing special "non-static" moments or situations with more than just one isolated subject.
Thanks a lot for your attention.
best regards,
Paul

This is a very engaging image. Her expression is priceless, and the combination of her hair, colorful dress and the colors of the peacock are fantastic! Even their gates match. This is not only excellent, but oh so comedically lovable. Antonia

Dear Nicky, dear Teresa, Dear Bilja,
life can be hard, competition and rivals all the time, need a break. Life is not perfect. No average of 7 out of 10 today. Also I have to confess I fell in love with somebody else. Her name is "photography" may her call Phoby in the healthy sense. I'm going to pack my suitcase now, see you again in a few days. Hugs and kisses all the ladies, shaking hands the other friends. bye greetings from P&P

Dear Bilja, we were in heaven for such short time. My 2 running ladies in the Parc also scored four seves out of 5. Then a rival came in with a six, which dropped the average from perfect to something which is not anymore perfect. Life can be though, but that will never bring our love story to an end.
Kisses Paul

Thank you Wolf Harry, I was just in love when you popped in with some technical stuff referring to your temple roof. I understand the process, but the mystery of love is still not solved. Could you please give me also a scientific answer to that ? Thanks a lot, Paul

Paul de Beukelaar Paul de Beukelaar   {K:26449} 7/4/2008
dear Bilja, please don't melt away completely and definitely. You still have to surprise me with so many other captures :-)
And promise me, as it will be a boy or a girl dress our baby such nicely that we can make a prize-winning shooting session with the newborn.
Kisses, Paul

They are in love, at least the peacock is hahahaha.
Abt the HDR of slides:
I select the slide to convert, carefully clean it from dust. Then I make 5 exposures of that signle slide with Ev -2 ... +2. Merging in Photoshop by File-> Automate ->HDR merge
or use Photomatix ( other company ).
It delivers all there is in a slide, nothing less but no also no more.

Thank you dear Nicki. What is just chasing behind her you can't actually see and know about. Could be an immense rain cloud (or her husband as well). You know these innocent white dots above Santorini always resulted in relaxed people as here in Paris they sometimes cause high stress levels and resulting both animals and people go running.
Many hugs from me and also a nice and colorful weekend, Paul

LOL...what a GREAT shot Paul!!!Have to laugh about this story and when I have a look about the face from this lovely lady:))Funny candid capture and great facial expression.But I have to agree with the lady I wouldn't like it either when I knew that a peacock would be behind me...LOL!!!
I wish you a nice weekend with NO umbrella!!!
Groetjes,
Nicki

Thank you dear Teresa, wasn't it something for you to participate in this match as well ? No special dress code required, only being fast and highly colorful.
I give you a big chance.
Greetings and hugs from Paul

Paul de Beukelaar Paul de Beukelaar   {K:26449} 7/4/2008
Hi Biljana, thanks for your appreciation. Is the lady maybe also an Auntie of you ? If not, you always could adopt her as you have experience with that :-) Unfortunately she only speaks French and some sort of bird-language.
many hugs from Paul
