The ambiance at the resort was really relaxing.... From alligators to Pink Flamingoes, to human guests, all appreciated the tranquility of the place.

Here this flamingo was peacefully sleeping under a tree in the pond next to the Hotel lobby..... until I was ready to fire my shot. He gave me this intimidating look. I could have captured another one in the open sunshine, but I tried the challenge of getting it whitout getting it overexposed. I prefer this mood, personnally. Do you ?

I will be back tonight, I am now leaving for Montreal. Cheers!
Robert

Hello Robert,
very beautiful screen layout and also the bird inserts itself harmoniously into your picture, mad presentation by light and shade at this nature object, well seen and in a mad sharpness presented.
Best regards.

Bonjour Robert
J'y vois un tableau abstrait aux teintes pastelles et une maîtrise admirable de l'exposition qui incite à l'exploration des zones plus sombres.
J'ai aussi pris l'habitude d'exposer pour les hautes lumières à EV -.7 et d'éclaircir au besoin les tons moyens seulement.
Merci pour votre visite.
Robert

Really elegant . . . and exotic. I noticed all your recommendations on your profile. Thanks for that information.

Richard

Lovely colors and light-shadows play. A pink bird-great soft tones. Effective framing.
