Another image from my series of flamingos in the last light of the day :)

I would love to read your coments, critics and ideas about this image

An eye catching image for use, the colors are fantastic and so are the silhouette.
I'm sure you wish the third bird's bill were not merging with the middle one.
In all, a charming, powerful image. Enhorabuena :)

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great colors and composition, I don't mind the overlap but might darken the birds more.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Como molas!
Really nice warm colors Juan! I especially like the use of rule of thirds, I agree with Axel about darken the birds a bit more.

[Simon Bennett]

Lovely compostion and colours.

[D. Robert Franz]

Lovely image, the problems are discussed above. Well done.....

A really beautiful image Juan, absolutely gorgeous colours. I hesitate to offer as I think so highly of the image but the more I look the more I think I would add just a little canvas to the top. I cannot explain why but I think it is because the silver grey area of water appears to be centrally positioned, by adding canvas i think my eye would not keep being tempted. - What do you think?

[Juan Aragonés]

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions. Much appreciated :)

Fabs I would love to have the third flamingo not merging with the one in the middle but I also like the idea of "group" that is reinforced by the merging of the two last flamingos.

Jonathan I am always interested in hear what others think about my images, it is very refreshing ;) Fabs and you pointed out two things that I didn´t noticed in the image. I like your suggestion and I have a litle more room at the top of the frame but I croped the top because is filled with a very dark, black stuff that is not very pleasant. One possible solution is to add canvas in PS but I want to kkep this image without much digital manipulation (I have a photo contest on mind...;))

I think the light on the flamingo's is just right. I feel if they were just silhouette's, it wouldnt have the same impact. The colours in the BG makes this a winner for me.
