I photographed this group of flamingos early in the morning. The light and colours were very intense at that hour of a very sunny day (there is no oversaturation here due to postprocessing) in Marismas del Odiel (Huelva) Spain. I decided to keep the original framing (only a slight crop on the upper side to avoid a reflection) because I liked the smooth area of calm water in the foreground but I would love to hear your thoughts about the comp. Nikon D2X AFS Nikkor 300VR+1,4XTC HSC mode (6Mp) handheld f5,6 ISO 400 (slight levels adjustments and sharpening. No noise reduction here)
I like the colors and composition. It looks like it could use a slight CCW rotation (0.4 - 0.5 degrees). I tried boosting the saturation some but I think your version fits the mood better.
HI Juan !!!! This image is about fell and it has been captured !!!! Love those pastels Have been going back and forth with altering the bottom crop but totally undecided Good space for magazine printing !!!!!! I love it as presented !!!! Big Congrats !!!!
Love the soft pastel colors in this image Juan. A very lovely and peaceful image that is well framed and composed. I agree about the slight rotation. Thanks for sharing.
Really nice mood to this. My only wish here would have been for two birds at left to have their heads up a bit more to have their bills visible. I like all the empty space below, works well here.
