    I know its a negative side blank space but while shooting this it was so quick moment and i had not place to move single inch as i was under the gypse lying down so please bear with the compo.

    Nice light, interaction, and exposure, Mital. Comp works for me. The whites look a a tad grey on my monitor, I think they could go a bit brighter? I love the splash of water near the foot.

    Well Done!

    it was an overcast day and that could made the whites not pure white as there was not sunlight or directional light.

    Great interaction captured. Love the low angle, the BG and the diffused light. Congrats for this beautiful image.

    Excellent interaction, and I agree about the splash...very nice. I understand your predicament crop-wise, but if this is FF the details will certainly hold up nicely if you should decide to crop off some of the left for a more centered comp (which I would prefer with the two flamingos facing ech other). Great low angle, and I love the subdued light - it creates a very nice ambiance.

    Love the interaction here too. The low angle and the good look at the varied bg colors look great as well.

    Mital.. U leave this as is. This is quite exceptional IMV. The space on the left adds and creates interest and tension. Couldn't make it any better. The image has a wonderful quality and breaks the mold. sell it. Sell it well and hard. D!

    I like the interaction, sharpness, soft light and angle. Another vote for a crop off the left.

    Lovely interaction between the two, and I like the softer light in this. This is sharp, and I would move the flamingo's into a more central position. Great image.

    Wouldn't change a thing! I like the composition as it is. Brighter conditions would have given it a little more "pop" but you can't do anything about that. Lovely image.

    lovely shot mital.

    a few suggestions.

    i think it would have worked better as a vertical crop as the space to the left of the birds is not adding anything to the image. Also shame about the light green band in the background, maybe darken it slightly? The birds heads also look a little over sharpened on my screen as there are a few artifacts present.

    I would not change a single pixel on this image. i agree that the empty space may look not good but, in this cas, the image works really nice in my opinion. Very good job getting such a low angle :-)
