Another Juvi

[Stu Bowie]

Here is another image of a juvi Greater Flamingo taken last weekend. It was overcast at the time, and would love to go back again once the weather here opens up.

F/7.1

Wonderful IQ Stuart and a great pose captured as the flamingo withdraws its head from the water, the cascading droplets from the bill add a hint of action. I also like the excellent exposure of the white plumage - the overcast sky was kind to you!

I like the flat light here, Stuart, a very nice pose with the s curve neck"

[Greg Oakley]

Outstanding shot Stuart! The detail is superb and the water drops put it over the top!

Hi Greg, yep, it doesnt look good for your team to get all those runs that we accumalated yesterday.

Great job on the exposure and as John mentioned, the overcast conditions were favorable. Detail is very sharp and I love the scales on the legs. The water falling from the mouth is cool too. Another nice frame Stuart.

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent Pose and light, good exposure control, nice comp.

Looks great Stu. I think the overcast light is best with all those whites.
The water droplets really add.
Great POV and IQ and I love the markings on the legs-never noticed those before,
