Flamingo's

Hi All,

I just renewed my membership and say to myself it's time to post a new picture because I haven't been here for a long time. I'm very busy lately so please do not make me shame myself.

But I hope I make it a little good by placing this picture. This one is not taking in Africa or so, but just her in my cold "Kikkerlandje" (Froggiecountry translated)the Netherlands last week. They are here for almost a month now. I was there before sunrise so the sun could make warm colors in the early hours. But it was freezing cold that day. Luckely enough I had some company that morning.

Exif: 700mm, F5.6 , 1/1000 sec, ISO250

C&C as always welcome

Very nice Tom.

I'm not usually a fan of "flying away" shots, but the long neck of these birds gives sufficient head inclusion for it to work here.

Looks a little soft on the head Tom, might be as its a small image. Great comp and light though.

Nick.

Im with Nick on this. great colours though

Bob

Exotic looking image, Tom. I agree about the softness on the head, but apart from that a well composed image with great light.

Tom nit covered but the overall image does look good.
