    Hi all. I apologize for my lack of participation in the past weeks but I had a new professional project on hands at the office regarding the development of "Endangered Species Conservation Plans". The project is running now and it is in a very early stage and I have a lot of work in the office so nor too much time for posting or comenting here right now. Hope that things will go to a normal situation soon ;)

    Here is another image from my last outing with the flamingos. This trio of stilts were placed between the flamimgos an my camera and gave to me a lot of opportunities for trying different compositions. the most I like is this one, with the birds placed in the upper left corner and with lots of empty space on the other side.

    As always, i would love to hear your comments, critics and suggestions to my work ;)

    I really like the light and the reflections,I would prefer to see a bit crop at the bottom,always for my taste!

    I like the mood and feel Juan Agree on taking a little of the bottom but still leaving more room than up top !!! I like the side light effect on this one !!!

    Hi Juan,
    I like the crop idea....as this will put the birds closer to the ROT position.....and even further emphasize the space.......or conversley........add more to the top.
    Congrats on the project and hope it went well.

    Great mood and reflection. The sidelight adds interest and I could see this with less space at the bottom but like it as is. I might try to remove the blueish/green cast on the bird's plumage.

    very nice Juan., personally, I would have picked a more "slightly" off center composition, but I like this as it is different.

    I like the elegant COMP as is and love the REFLs. They are better than the birds.
