    Default Flamingo walk

    Another old file from the collection. I find these birds so elegant, so I figured I post one more of them. Thank you for looking.

    Beautiful Lorant. The setting is great and find the reflection gives it that extra impact!

    Lorant:

    Lovely, clean image. Very elegant.

    Nice techs. I might consider trying a version with the reflection cut off just below the body, so the relected neck is gone. I also might try it about 1/3 of a stop brighter, see what you think.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Lorant, A beautiful, vibrant, and sharp bird with a good pose on a perfect gray card background. I like the bird at its current brightness but would also try it with a brighter background. I would like the composition more if the reflection were in perfect still water. I would experiment a bit with more headroom for the bird, possibly cutting off the reflection as Randy has suggested.

    Cheers!

    Good walking pose, and HA. Just love the colour of the flamingo. Your comp works as is, but Randy's would work too.

    Lovely low angle and colors. Does it need a bit of rotation?
