Another flamingo...

[Juan Aragonés]

I had had no free time to devote to birding or photography because I am really busy at the office and at home so I have to post some images from several weeks ago.

As always, I love to hear your comments and suggestions :)

Nikon D2X AFS Nikkor 500VR + 1,4XTC 1/200s f5,6 ISO320, handheld from car, manual exposure

[Ramon M. Casares]

Great mood, light, pose, comp and detail, exposure and ambient are great as well, loe it Juan, Big congratulations!

[Mark Schmitt]

Metered to perfection. Good resolution and detail in the plumage. Wish the eye was just a little more visible, but that is a minor issue. The water has almost no demarcation from BG. Interesting. Very well done.

[Steve Maxson]

Love the colors, comp, and mood here, Juan. Some might wish for more contrast, but I like it as presented.

[Doug Brown]

The pastel look to this image works very well. Great sharpness, nice reflection, and a good pose. Better eye contact would help, and I would probably go with a vertical crop (I'd leave a little more room at both the top and the bottom).

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

I really like the soft light,composition and the pose!!!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great light, details and mood. I could see this as vertical crop, too.

[Art Kornienko]

Agree with Doug about top or bottom and Axel for a vertical, everything else is bang on.

[Raymond Barlow]

looks really good to me Juan, large print for this one!

[Juan Aragonés]

Thank you guys for the commenst, much appreciated. I have this guy in vertical format too ;-)
