Photograph Of The Month Competition - Entry Number 1 For May 2008
Marian has sent a picture of a Peacock which she has entitled “Sheer Beauty” for the Farming Friends Foto of the Month Competition, so thanks Marian.
Marian said in her email, “It is the males that are famous for their strikingly beautiful tail coverts. The long feathers are usually green and gold. Markings of blue colour resembling eyes, giving them a special beauty all of there own. The problem is, getting them to display when you have the camera ready! Fortunately, this was very happy to pose for me.”
Wow - what a fantastic photograph - if you think that you have a photograph that can rival Marian’s then send me your photograph entry.
The photographs need to have a farming theme and can include the farming landscape, farm animals, farm machinery, farming life or nature and wildlife on and around a farm. Send your photographs by email (request email address via the contact form if you don’t know email address and I will send it to you) keeping the photograph attachment to a size of about 600 x 400 pixels.
Please supply some details about the photograph - the name of the person who took the photograph, when and where it was taken and what is happening in the photograph. The winning ‘Foto’ will be posted at the beginning of the following month, so you have up to the end of the month to enter.
Peacock Photograph of the Month Competition
Beautiful shot of the peacock. Whilst I was walking along a lake in Breuillet just outside Paris, I came across a couple of llamas. Maybe I’ll send those in to you, Sara.
