Pretty in Pink

[Stu Bowie]

This was taken at the Pretoria Zoo, so I suppose this wasnt the most difficult image to capture. The grass BG wasnt ideal, but I like the colours and details, together with the curvature of the neck.

Excellent pose, composition and details!

[James Salywoda]

So gorgeous Stuart beautiful pose and bg.

[Pieter de Waal]

As you mentioned Stuart lovely curvature with excellent exposure and detail.

Stuart, perhaps it's common and fairly easy to photograph, but I think you produced a real winner. The curves and the soft light make for a nice image.

Cheers,

Stuart, I really like the BG color with the Flamingo colors. Nice sharp details and cool pose.

[Alan Lillich]

I like the framing and crop. Even though the neck is connected to nothing and there is just a bit of body, it works. Or maybe I should say it works because of that, the curves form a nice shape on their own.

Love the pose and the pink/orange of the bird against the green BG. Great detail too. I might lighten the face a little.

Denise, Alan, Doug, thanks for your feedback. Always appreciated.

Nicely captured zoo ar not and as mentioned the neck curvature and head details combined with your crop make it a standout. Lovely light. I would have tried to do something with the eye to bring it out more just a touch.
