I love the Flamingos in here. Not crazy about the oof cormorants.

[Don Railton]

I agree with Ofer here. The Flamingos are beautiful but the Cormorants are just a distraction when they are so far out of focus...I think you need a lot more DOf to get what I think you were after...

Rakesh, good capture of all the flamingo's, all sharp and in focus. I feel if the cormorants were lower in the frame and not intersecting with the legs of the flamingo's, they would work being OOF.

Very nice Rakesh. It looks like a parade for the cormorants' viewing pleasure :)
Where was this image made, if I may ask? Would love to see a flamingo some day.

A+ for trying something new but I am with Ofer here; the cormorants spoil a wonderfully sharp image of the flamingos. And Stuart is right about the merges. The ones in the back are fine...
