Flamingo

[Juan Aragonés]

Another flamingo flight, a bird in fully adult plumage. Noise reduction on the BG, selective sharpenning on the bird, levels adjustment (no saturation added)
As always, your comments, suggestions and critics are highly appreciated:)

Beautifully exposed, great detail and love the composition.

Well captured.

[Linda Robbins]

Very nice flight pose, good exposure. Flash and a Better Beamer may have helped light the underside since you were able to photograph these beautiful birds from close range. Lovely image.

Impressive bird Juan !!!! Great tech specs Would only suggest switching the space in the bottom for the top? I like Linda's idea but not sure you will get any light to the bird at the selected shutter speed Big Congrats on this fine image !!!!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Stunning Flight pose Juan and it is always great to see the underside detail of these beautiful birds. Lovely work indeed !!!

[Vincent Grafhorst]

Beautiful Juan! I like the flying over head pose with the eye clearly visible like this.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Interesting perspective Juan. More room above would be good. That blue is quite vivid, but I would personally prefer it less intense.

[Arthur Morris]

Quite dramatic as is. When you point the camera straight up and expose for the highlights, I agree that the blue is a bit too intense. Love the symmetrical wing position and the spread tail. On this one, it looks as if the eye could use some work. All in all I love it.

Nice flight pose,symmetrical wing position,colors and details,nice work Juan!!!

Beautiful, Juan. I think it stands on its own as a strong graphic image.
