Excellent clarity in this image of the two different types of Flamingo's. Perfect background effect that allows the viewer to focus in on the flamingo's. These are really nice close ups. Great capture. Thanks for sharing

Hi Eileen, This shot is amazing! I didn't even know there was more than one species of Flamingos. Love the way the oddball flamingo is squawking at the other two. Beautiful focus and lighting in your shot! :o) NAncy

It must be great when you can take a photo of two different species of Flamingos like this, and also when they are posing for you like this. I especially like how nicely the light is falling on them, and also how well they are standing out from the nicely softened background.
The photo is also very sharp and it is clear details to be seen in all the birds. The exposure is very good.
The photo is nicely cropped and the birds are well placed within the frame. A lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

Great capture of the different types of Flamingo, Eileen. I love the poses you caught here - the one on the right looks as if he's lecturing the others about something! Very good lighting and focus showing a nice clear image. Great composition. Suzanne

Spectacular lighting and wonderful scene captured of the different species of Flamingos. Superb eye clarity! Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. Your diffused dark background compliments your beautiful work. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

Eileen,
A beautiful picture of these three Flamingos two American Flamingos on the left & a Greater Flamingo on the right (I could be wrong but that's what I think it might be! if my Google search is right) Beautiful composition, framing & lighting with the dark background from which both species stand out clearly. Taken with supeb camera techniques & sharp focus.

You are very good Susan! I'm impressed! That is a greater flamingo, the chilean had a grayer neck. And the others are the American Flamingos. Thanks so much for your wonderful review!
Comment from Jody brunson
I love this picture because I love pink flamingos there's something about that and I don't know why but anyways you did a fantastic job with contrast with the pink and the white flamingo. You got a fantastic eye and you know how to see. Fantastic editing of the picture. You did a good job.

A great shot. You have captured the feeling of tension that sometimes occurs when two different species come into contact. Very sharp details and excellent colors.

This is a wonderful close-up shot of the flamingos having a tete a' tete!:)You have timed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Comment from Jo Calderbank
This really catches the eye Eileen, I like the strong colour of the flamingos against the muted
Back ground which enhances the detail in their faces, the angle of capture is really different and tells a story. Very well framed and presented. Great work.
