    Hi Lady Mirenchu,
    I like your capture...you have good color rendition and fine feather details. I like the head turn looking at you pose...a few things to consider...:) I took the liberty in making a few adjustments to your base image...I cropped from the top and from the bottom and a little from the right side, I adjusted your mid-tones and your blacks...I selective sharpened the face and eye, and lightened it a tad, and toned down the hot whites in the feathers just a little...see if this presents best to you...:cool:

    :)Hi Mirenchu Like the HA and eye contact. Good detail. The changes the Gus made really helped. I wonder about blurring the BG a little. My preference would leave the crop of the top as is.

    Gus nailed this one - The repost looks to be on the money.
    Good HA and nice colours and details - some blurring of the BG might be worth a look.
    Interesting Nest.
    Congrats :)

    nice image. I like Gus' repost, except that I like the original darker bg.

    Hi Mirenchu I like what Gus did. I think using fill flash might have helped here and a lower angle, but I don't think it was possible. Tried tweaking using David Thomasson's spotlight effect with S/H. Not sure how you are able to upload a filw with 1024 as the length so I resized it.

    Sharp eye, sharp feathers detail, I also like the feather on the tip of the bill. A very good picture that show flamingo's nesting environment, this is my first time seeing one, thank you. Wish you could include more of the nest on the left side.
    Gus and Jackie repost make it even better.

    Super image - the nest is really interesting. I agree it's a pity not being able to see more on the left. I like Jackie's repost the most - doesn't tone down the reds of the flamingo too much but lovely detail!
