Love the unusual pose you captured here, Eileen, showing the beautiful Flamingo with his head buried in the lovely feathers. Lighting and focus very good showing great clarity. Lovely composition. Suzanne

A really original photo for me, I never saw Flamingo resting on the ground like that. A great close up that shows the birds elegant fluffy feathers and the dark orange on his head to perfection. The photo is very interesting as well as different and I appreciate you sharing it with us very much thanks a lot.

I do not understand the title for this shot but I can see that it is a good one! Your central composition gives us a good look at your flamingo. Sharpness and exposure are fine. Well done!

    These flamingos live the good life at the santuary. That is why ;) Thanks so much for your wonderful review!

This is a beautiful flamingo! You've captured it in such a relaxed, intimate position. Perfect clarity and focus on the flamingo shows off the details in his feathers and face very well. Great lighting as well!

the bird says.."i got all dressed ready to go out steppin and he would have to stand me up! sniff sniff"..it does look sad poor thing..the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the colorful bird holding its head down is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall

A very nice shot with sharp detail in the bird and a great eye. It always amazes me to see the way the legs are articulated whether on cranes or flamingos. The brilliant color in this Caribbean flamingo is outstanding.

Superb initial impact. Sharply focused with the features of those feathers. They make this bird even more beautiful. It's like the bird is looking right at you knowing that you just want to capture his soul and knowing that you would not hurt him. Thanks for sharing.

    there were three us peering at her through the fence (yes this was shot through chain link fence) so I'm sure she was wondering what we were up to :) Thanks M

    Amazing that was through the fence. You should have posted that. It's even more amazing now. I wouldn't even know how to do that.

This is indeed a different photo of a Flamingo because of the way the bird is showing off its beautiful feathers. They look really great in the delicate pink colors. The colors are so crisp and clear and the bird is standing out from the background in an excellent way.

Your photo is also pin sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the bird, and the exposure is perfect.

The cropping works well and the bird is well placed within the frame. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo and with a very good DOF.
