Nice. There was actually a feature on flamingoes in NG 30 years ago with a similar picture ... so you are in the right track. I wish for a more vivid coloration though ... so perhaps added saturation (?) might enhance this already excellent picture.
This came out great. I can see so much detail in the feathers and then there’s the graceful S shape that looks very NG. I'm sure this is doing well. Congratulations. 10
