Thank you all so much! Your comments are so encouraging to me. I had wanted to respond personally to you all, but it seems I can only reply one time at this point. So thank you Kim, Judy, Lise, Stephanie, Colette and Derrald. Your responses to my photo have meant a lot to me (cuz I don't often get really memorable or comment worthy shots). Thanks again~ Nee :) #1319608

I love this; the pink works so great against the black BG. I love flamingoes and there is a wildlife place nearby where I go on occasion and shoot them. I keep trying for that really perfect photo but have not gotten it yet! I'll have to keep trying! #3535489

Carol Teal November 02, 2006
