Lesser Flamingos over Lake Logipi

[ken dyball]

Hi all

This image was in Avian & was sugested to post here as well!

At the end of a long trip in Kenya i was invited by a photographer & freind of mine to do some arial photography in the Lake Turkana Area Kenya, this is a flock of Lesser Flamingos over Lake Logipi shot from a Cessna with the door open.
in all my years of flying (passenger) i have never seen such beauty from the air

Cheers

I saw this in Avian, very impressive, they've formed a long fish shape in a moon landscape.

Hey Ken,
I think this works very well! I like the perspective and you have great lines in this! I am debating lightening the UL and LL a few points......may be something you want to explore but overall....this was very nicely done!

Hi Ken, this is a very lovely living landscape type image. I agree with Roman on brightening the upper left corner of the comp.

Hi Ken, interesting perspective that works for me. The flock of birds add a center of interest along with pleasing texture and color. Agree about lightening the UL a bit but otherwise a different and interesting perspective...

[Morkel Erasmus]

this is splendid work Ken...love the lines, contours and obviously the flock :)
some good suggestions given

Thankyou all for the comments, yes is a bit dark in that corner i agree, a bit of crude processing here!!

Cheers.

Good luch getting up in the air and it paid off. I agree on lightening the left side some.
