Editing:
Saturation +50 on Red, Blue and Cyan channels, -100 on all others.
I would have liked to tweak the contrast to get more definition on the near side of the flamingo and the shadowed portion of it's neck, but I'm not proficient enough with curves to make it look right. I think that this may be a bit underexposed, but I didn't notice it at the time it was taken.

Wonderful title! This is one of my favorite images in the challenge...the title adds that really nice touch of humor...and I don't think I have ever seen a flamingo photographed in this way before...excellent entry!
It's almost an abstract- I really like this. The pink of the bird contrasts well with the muted tones of the water...the patterns in the water keep your eye moving around. The bird's body is perfectly positioned (rule of thirds) 10
What a unique perspective ! The rippling of the water draws in the viewer to further investigate the subject.The brightness of the bird against the stark background really adds to this image. Excellent use of the rule of thirds ! Should score really high !
Very nice image. The ripples in the pond are beautiful, and the lighting is really interesting. I like the way you cropped for the flamingo to be literally a splash of color.
Wow. I love the point of view on this one. Gives it a very unique feel. Beautiful colors, great composition, wonderful textures in the water. And the title made me smile!
