Hi Scott,
A realy wonderful capture. The contrast between the dark water and BG against the colorful plumage of the flamingo is excellent. It really helps to bring out the bird from its surrounding. I really love the details and the warm colors. It looks like this fellow is about to fall asleep.

Cool flamingo shot, the deep rich colors of the feathers is beautiful, you caught a nice relaxed pose. Almost as if it is saying.. This is my best side... Good clairty of detail, I didn't realize you had an IS lens. Those must be awsome. You have some great shots of the wildlife from the parks and zoos. The lighitng in this shot is also good. The dark BG really makes the birds colors pop, good choice.

Hello Mr. Evers :)

This is a beautiful shot! Those colors are really contrasted and details are awesome. We can almost feel the smooth texture of the feathers. This dark BG is much appropriated and I like this composition and lightning. This is a sophisticated post! Thanks,
Claudine

I always admired these shots. Then I tried to take one. Now I admire them even more. Well posed and exposed.

P.S. Thanks for the tip on the stabilized lenses. Lately I've been lusting for 400mm, but the stabilization helps my cost estimate (unlikely).

Scott,
Knowing from experience your right abut the lens. I think my camera misses your lens! :) (Hope that didn't sound funny)
I like this composition of the napping flamingo.
I can almost guess your exact spot that you shot this from.
You always leave great notes!
Thanks for teaching me so much about photography.
Your Buddy,
Scott

Lovely photo Scott, amazing how they stand on one leg !...only time I ever saw some of these was when I was in Las Vegas, staying at the Flamingo Hilton.. they have lots of them walking around in the grounds..

Looks great with the dark BG.. well done.

Thanks for sharing.
Dawn.

Hi again, Scott - I do like your nature shots! The combination here of strong red on dark brown is rather effective. And the bird is a natural model. Thank you for sharing this impression. Cheers, Cordelia :)
PS: Do you have any idea how these birds can pull one leg up so high and keep it there? And then nap at the same time?

Bonjour.
Splendide flamand rose... sur ce fond noir, la rose est magnifique (ni trop vif ni trop foncé).

Féliciations !
