Thanks for use of this stunning photo--it makes perfect company for my piece SILENCE IN HIATUS, about an autistic child entralled by a decoratvie flamingo. Credit in notes. Cheers. LIZ

    Hi Elizabeth, I am definitely going to stop by FS and review your story, since I am a member of both FS and FanArtreview. :o) I know how important it is to find just the right image for what you've written, so I am honored you chose one of mine. Thank you so much for the lovely review and for choosing one of mine. :o) Nancy

When browsing through your work this one also grabbed my attention. You did a really good job with the flood filter because you have it going around objects instead of just under them like most people do. I also notice the oval ripple where the flamingo is drinking the water. That makes it look quite authentic. The post processing is excellent in my opinion and I think the original flamingos look great too.
A very attractive picture overall.

While part of the picture absolutely looks real(including the reflections) others do not. I like how you darkened things up a bit compared to make a day picture into a night one. Would have liked for the palm tree to appear a bit more real. Thanks for sharing your work.

This is really beautiful, and I really like what you did with this. Very creative. But, you might want to clone the tags off their legs, which would be relatively easy to do. Then go to portfolio, to this picture, click edit, and resubmit. Other than that, this is so gorgeous.

Isn't flood fun? This would make a truly super poster, and the color palette is perfect! Only one little change I wouldd make, and that is to remove the band from the leg on the left..then they can party all night long! I can see this as a postcard! Donkeyoatey

    It was YOUR mixed media that helped me discover two wonderful filters, the Fractalius and the Flood Filter. I always wondered What YOU were doing in YOUR work because I LOVED the results YOU were getting! Thank You SO much for that! Thanks for the super review My Friend I AM honored! You and another reviewer suggested I get rid of the leg band and I have. Bless YOU for the 5.5 star review! :o) Helvi

Love it. I go to every zoo in every country I visit. Flamingoes are so lovely. Dependin on what they eat depicts their colour. The one standing up has an attitude and I love him. The whole picture is so very well done and to me is worth a 6

Very well done. The result is attractive. The composition is very good with the different lines of the flamingos and their reflection. Very nice contrast of colors.
