I like the way you cropped this one very much. I think it is more effective than if you showed the ends of the feathers. Very creative, Del.

Chad, I was in Tokyo for 5 days, then left for Kyoto (same word, different spelling). I liked Kyoto a lot, but I was only there for 2 days and lucked out on my 2nd day by doing a walking tour and discovering the hidden beauty of the place. (I came across a few Geishas in training and got to shoot them.) The organized tours are a scam because they charge so much but don't show you really anything worthwhile. You leave Kyoto having seen 2 or 3 temples but no geishas in training or the wooden eel houses, etc.
Enjoy Chicago. I was there in the late 90s but it's so expensive that I can't imagine living there. Parking costs a lot from what I recall.
I'm presently in Hong Kong and will be returning to Canada tomorrow.

Wow, how about that, you travel to Tokyo just after I have left. I live in Chicago now and am still getting settled and learning my way around. Once I have something of a normal pattern going I will start getting back into my photography again. I would love to shoot some city-scapes around here.
Tokyo is a awesome city, Shinjuku station gets more people traveling through it in a single day then there are people in Sydney. Tokyo station has more tracks though as they also run the bullet trains and the Narita express. Nakano is nice, I used to live in that neighborhood. How long will you be there?

Hey Chad, believe it or not, I'm actually in Tokyo and thought I'd look you up, but I see you've gone back to the US. This place is quite nice, the subway/train system is mindblowing in its complexity and scope, and it is cool to see how much they've computerized everything.
To be honest, I love riding my bike at breakneck speed down the busy sidewalks and zooming past pedestrians, and racing other bikers, etc. This sort of thing is not possible in the US. As a pedestrian I've had many close calls, but so far no problems.
And, the Shinjuku station was something else. I am staying nearby that (Nakano) so have had occasion to get off at Shinjuku and couldn't believe how many people were walking through. How many subway stations elsewhere in the world have 15 tracks??? Then I discovered that station is the busiest in Japan, so it made sense. For a while there I thought this sort of congestion was normal. ;-)
Coming to your little guy, I love this pic and how you got in real close. Did you take it at a zoo? (I didn't see any mention of source) I love peacocks; they are by far my fave wildlife to shoot. I did post a couple of samples called "Peacock Palace". Please have a look and let me know your thoughts.

I just tried zoo animal shots last week and wasn't happy with any of them! I tried the peacock as well and he wouldn't put out his feathers for me. This is a wonderful capture! Great job with it.
