Comment from Jo Calderbank
A graceful image of this Chilean flamingo as it preens, good capture on the beautiful pink plumage with nice detail, superb light illuminating the softness, I like the tight framing drawing the viewer to the birds face.
And the dark back ground is working well. Great shot.

thank you very kindly for the review Jo
Comment from El-mundo
A fascinating and brilliantly composed piece, shot with great clarity that shows amazing detail and structure of the feathers, textures and different lengths of the down and feathers too from the position you have captured it in, mid preen, and whatever effects you have used are subtle but have obviously boosted the piece even more. The black background contrasts perfectly with the Flamingo and the light pink/white appearance of its body, and it's large black & pink beak. An interesting narrative explaining a little about this wonderful bird is lovely too, thank you and great work :)

Comment from Life is but a dream.
Eileen, you are one Avian photographer who puts "soul" into her images. It is time you started teaching others ....actually, you do , don't you through your art.
This has a gorgeous light glow on it ...your post processing is tops.
You so deserve a perfect 10!....alas I can only give a 6.

Thank You Olga, it was a great learning day for manual settings. Sange of course, knows these cameras like the back of her hand and she had them figured out just perfectly.

Yes, she understands cameras, you my dear, understand art.

Probably to late but what a great photo of my favorite bird! These guys really make great artistic
models and your rendering is fantastic.
Stunning tones here. Great colors and pop with the dark background. Sharp as a tack with excellent details. Excellent visual and initial impact. Outstanding technique and very high technical excellence.
You captured this one with a great pose to boot.
My favorite view of the day and such a pleasure to review. Thanks for sharing this talented work Eileen!

Comment from Malmax
This is truly a beautiful shot of this flamingo. The detail in the photo is remarkable and the softness of the feathers is magnificent. They have a dreamy effect and
is just brilliant. What a most unique pose you have captured in this shot. This is just outstanding.
Superb work.

A lovely look at this Flamingo! The pose is wonderful showing the Flamingo's long graceful neck. The pink color of the beak and in the feathers is beautiful. Great lighting.
