    Default Flamingo head on

    It took me a second to figure out what I was looking at here. The feet are fun to look at. I do wish I could see a little bit of eye.

    I love it. I love the soft tones and those feet a totally amazing. It almost looks like a cartoon.

    I love it too. Quite whimsical with those dangling feet and unusual head pose. I'm with Marina for a better look at the eye - I'm sure its just the smaller web posting that is reducing its impact. Fun stuff!
