Absolutely beautiful. Tack sharp filled with detail everywhere i look but yet has a smoothing color to it. The DOF could not of been better, almost a perfect DOF if it would not of been for the lower left not being the same color. Not that there is anything wrong with that I am just amazed at how good the DOF is. I could keep going on but you know no I have given this a 10. Good luck.
Beautiful composition, lighting and detail on the feathers, beak and in the eye. Background provides perfect contrast with subject and yet doesn't interfere with beak which is shown against the pink of the bird. 8
Beautiful in it's clarity, placement and lighting! Only suggestion for prints is to clone out the white in the background? After looking at it a few more times, bumped up to a 10. Great job.
ahhh... flamingo. I just can't help myself. I love those so much!
My favorites are filled with flamingos... but this one definately is going to join them!
This is such a gorgeous photo.
The details are amazing, the colors so wonderful, the background so smooth and he shot was taken with the perfect DOF.
I might have tried to burn just a little bit that bright area on the right (that's another flamingo I assume?) but I understand that doing so might be a risk to the feathers details in that area.
A wonderful take on this challenge, that actually makes me wanna stay for more. 10
