About the Image(s)

I attended a retreat in Playa del Carmen, Mexico (just south of Cancun) in late April and a number of peacocks had taken up residence at the resort. They are apparently somewhat territorial — at least the one in the photos lingered in the same are for the entire week of my stay — and they are extremely loud. One evening I discovered the peacock perched on a balcony railing peering into the glass and the next day, the same one was posing in front of the colorful wall of the building. Both were shot with a iPhone 14 and have not had any post-production treatment other than minimal cropping.
