A Pair

[Stu Bowie]

I visited this location a little while back, and was pleased when some of the Flamingo's came closer to the hide whilst feeding. I really tried for the near Flamingo to give me a better HA, but this was the best I could do. The morning was overcast.

Canon 1D Mark IV

Manual exposure.

Stuart Sir:
Absolutely marvelous image of flamingos.I like position of both of then and necks are not intersecting,very nice 3D effect caused by the BG and reflection of flemingos in the water.
Love the colors,superb details,water droplets on heads and dripping water from bill. Great composition and lights too.

Regards,
Satish.

Very nice shot Stuart.
Great to see the detail in these two as it seems to be hard to get close to these guys. Most shots I see are not as detailed. Nice that the necks arent overlapping and the HAs are nice. I see the point on a better HA on the nearer bird but this aint to bad at all.
Nice exposure and detail and I like that the eyes are very visible. The drip of water looks great too. Well done

Lovely quality of light and liking very much seeing both eyes in sharp detail, yes to wishing foremost bird was looking more towards the camera.....but I dont see that as anything major. Love the curved necks particularly the one partially submerged

[christopher galeski]

nice one Stuart as always,sharp with good detail,nice light,like the water coming off the bill.

[Nick Palmieri]

You captured beautiful detail in these guys. I love the reflection. very nice.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the reflection, submerged neck, dripping water, ripples and IQ. I don't mind that the one is not looking at you as he appears interested in the other Flamingo. Well done Stuart.

[Marina Scarr]

Nice interaction and the comp works well. Nice water drops and I like the hint of orange.

[Stu Bowie]

Thank you for the feedback and comments everyone.

Hey Stuart,
Yeah.....a better HA may have put this over the top....but an excellent image nevertheless!!!

[gail bisson]

I love this one Stu. The whites are beautifully exposed and both birds are tack sharp.
Like the dripping water.

The overcast worked great for you, Stuart. I don't really mind the HA of the close bird, I just enjoy the feather detail and the nic light. The dripping water from the beak of the far bird is a nice feature.

[Stu Bowie]

Thanks for the comments and feedback everyone. Always appreciated.
