Thanks in advance for all your comments and suggestions.
This image was captured in Sea World in San Antonio, Texas. Camera Canon Power Shoot G11; AP; 0.004 se; 30.5mm; Iso 100; f/4.5. PP Photoshop CS5, clone some ducks that were at front; did some level adjustments; Nik Software: Color Efex Pro, applied bi-color filters; Glamour Glow and finaly Lighten focal point and darkened the edges of the image.
Mirenchu, I love Flamingos. Nice job with the composition. A teeny bit tight on top. I might have evicted the piece of bird behind #32 on the right edge. I like the filtering you chose to apply.
Hi Mirenchu, this is a fun image. All of the Flamingos resting in the same position except for the one on the left. The verticals of the legs and the reflections work well to add interest here. Nice job keeping the BG toned down. I would consider a bit more canvass at the top and evicting the small flamingo part in the upper right hand corner, can't quite tell what it is. Otherwise, you captured a pleasant image.
Although tight cropping doesn't bother me, I agree about adding a little to the top. And although I like reflections, I think I'd crop some from the bottom. The curves and diagonals add to the appeal of the image. Removing both flamingoes in the upper right background would, I think, add even more in that respect and help keep the viewer's eye in the image.
I've never used the bicolor filters in Color Efex. You achieved a good effect with it.
I really like the light and color on this Mirenchu, and the main group of three flamingos works well composition wise. Nicely processed and some good suggestions to make it even stronger.
Hi Mirenchu, this has a very whimsical feel to it. I really love the colors, lighting, and composition. I agree about adding a little more to the top. I wish the front, rightmost flamingo's tail feathers weren't clipped, but that's minor. I also would clone out the bands on their legs. Very nice work!
