You guys sure had a great trip !!!!!! Love the low angle and oof bg birds !!!! Just wonderful !!! Might get rid of the oof foreground water? Big Congrats !!!!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great angle, pose and the OOF birds add to it. I would also crop a bit off the bottom.

Good suggestion on the crop--I'll look into it as soon as my system is finished backing up (a regular weekend thing). I had thought about adding more density, but many of the flamingos were as light in color as you see on screen, so I didn't want to make it too artificial.

I went back and cropped the image--let me know if this was what you were thinking. Thanks!
