Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro for Canon
Location: columbus zoo

Date Uploaded: Sep 19, 2007

 Thursday afternoon and I am sitting on a 6.71 - way higher than what I expected. I was sure there were going to be at least a half dozen images of flamingoes - yet mine is the only one. Lucky me!

The kdis and I went to the zoo specifically so I could shoot some of these guys. I was hoping to come back with an image that had the feel of a [user]SandyP[/user] type shot. Came close - but not really. Advanced editing would have been nice.

PP - RAW conversion from LIghtroom, crop, NI, USM, multiple selective color and curve adjust. layers, hue/sat adjust. layers, resize, USM, border.

Simple, elegant, and gorgeous light. What would you have done differently with advanced editing?

I wish the s-curve was a stronger element in the composition, otherwise a nice photo

Nice job on the feather detail. It's so hard not to blow the highlights on these birds.

Good composition and idea is only let down by the slight overexposure

At first glance this seemed to be a large orange/pink flower- like a Peony.
