Larry, I like these pics! I’ve never seen peacocks this close-up, and so haven’t appreciated the details of their colors.
The exposure is tricky, as the bird is dark-colored and there is dappled sunlight. I imagine that you already did what you could with the exposure sliders in LR. A friend suggested using the “dehaze” slider for scenes with uneven exposure, and that tool has become one of my faves.
