    Default Swimming Flamigos

    As we know Flamingos wade, but not many people know that they are excellent swimmers as well. I cloned out 3 distant flamingos from the BG. Comments are welcome.

    You found a great place for Flamingos, Lorant. Keep them coming. Looks very nice.

    For me it's nice to see them out in the open just swimming along. I like the fact that the two somewhat mirror one another.

    Cantīt ask for more! this is super and I like how you clone the offending birds without damaging the BG. The low shooting angle makes this one very special for me.

    Lorant excellent low angle, getting both sharp also adds. I also like the small water ripples. Great color as well. It's a first to see them swimming, we normally see them in very shallow water's, good work.

    I've always been fond of images that show a repeating pattern of birds. This is really lovely, Lorant. Super low angle and I like your comp. I could also see this as more of a pano, with some of the out of focus area cropped off the bottom.
