Photographed at Laguna Chaxa, Chile in very intense sunshine on salt flats.
20D 400mm f/4.0 DO IS lens: at f/5.6 1/1000 ISO 100 hand-held
I have cropped it slightly to move the birds to the left of the frame. I also reduced the contrast and increased the vibrance which restored a bit of the colour at the bill especially.
I like the wings positions for both, I wish the light was not as harsh and the second Flamingo was sharp as well. Increasing your aperture to f/8 would of handle that. Big birds like these guys I don't use nothing less than f/8. I want to make sure the bird is in focus.
Welcome Arthur. Very nice flight to get two flamingos flying together and well placed in the frame but I agree with Maxis that a larger aperture would help in this situation for better sharpness of both birds. Thanks for sharing.
Cool image, Arthur! It's great that you got the two flying together with some seperation between them. I lik ethe comp and wing positions, but the light is a bit harsh and it appears slightly overexposed. Closing down a bit would have added DOF and may have produced two sharp birds. Bumping up your ISO would have allowed a fast shutter speed and a smaller aperture.
