Flamingo walk in the lagoon

[Lorant Voros]

Living in Yucatan gives me the chance to enjoy the beauty of these per-historic birds that are actually over all in the lagoons and rias. The color is definitely a challenge to deal with in the PP work and if one wants to print the print work. I stayed as low as possible to amplify the size of these huge legs. Comments are welcome.

Super stuff! I love the vertical composition here, and the low angle is of course a huge plus. Great light and colours. As posted I think the face area, especially the eye, could stand a touch of darkening. There is also a tiny dust bunny almost touching the far leg:S3:

Nice colors and shooting angle gives an intimate feel. Do wish for a more clear view of the eye .

I like the low angle, composition and walking pose. A little less of a head turn towards us would have been better but I would love to have this in my files. Well done Lorant.

Lovely image with a great low angle. Also good angle on the flamingo. My only issue is I'd like to see more definition in the eye area.
