    Default Flamiball

    I found this strange looking beautiful pink flower while walking in the salt flats that are bordered by mangrove forests in Yucatan. I hope I can get back there again in a season when this flower opens up.

    A fringed tulip? Beautiful as a flower or a flamingo I love the pose, Lorant, and the minimalist look. Thanks for posting! It's good to have you in OOTB.

    Clever of you to spot the likeness to a flower. Love the colours on the bird. I think that the effect would be even more flower like if you cropped the water away.

    Love the flower metaphor, too, but I wouldn't hope that it stays planted there til you get back NIce sharp feathers

    Good creative thinking with this headless flamingo! I especially love the sweep of the tail feathers adding to that fringed look. Very lovely soft bkgd of layered colors.

    What a fun image! Your commentary adds to the humor. Beautiful selective focus, detail in the feathers, and color.
