    Default Mr Flamingo

    Here is our iconic bird in Yucatan, Mexico. I took this photo last winter. I haven't had the chance to photograph birds in the past months, so I post this one. Miss being out there.

    I like the vertical presentation, and the wide legged walking stance. Very nice BG with that low angle. If anything I'd remove the larger smudges in the water to make for a cleaner finish. You must be itching like crazy to photograph birds!!

    A beautiful Image, I like the low angle, and the touch of head turn as if he is looking at you. I would also be tempted to remove the smudges from the water.

    Superb Lorant, I like everything about it - the low POV is especially effective here.

    The low view point really shows off the stately pose.
    The orange colour, especially on the neck and head is really vibrant but may be my monitor.

    I like the low angle, walking pose, IQ and composition. Excellent image Lorant.
