A more intimate view this time... shooting behind bush but he/she sussed me out anyway - I think it was feeling sorry for me sitting in the rain for so long that I was allowed a quick click. Hope this exotic birdie lights up your rainy day as it did mine.

Different approach Des
Very nice.
Maybe a little gamma drop ? Bit light on my gear. No big deal though.
Cheers

Beautiful details throughout and I like the composition. Like John, I would drop the gamma a little too.

Kind regards,

Brett

John, as I host my own pic, all I need to do is to replace the original with the updated image, simple really

You know I like these flamingo shots Des, but I must admit that I keep wanting to see the full curve of the neck. Superb colour and detail.
