Amazing control of the light, Jeff, and a great choice of black bg to contrast the flamingo's outstanding colors. Stunning details and a cool s-turn. #8711012Hal Bambrick June 22, 2010 0
Awesome Work Here Jeff,WOW!!!!!!!!!!. #8711025Dennis Gay June 22, 2010 0
G'day *JEFF*!That sinuous 'S' shape and the richness of the flamingo pink against the black background really makes this one helluvan eye catcher.
A nice compact composition displays this study off very well.
The light is exquisite and the focus and depth of field render such awesome detail.
Powerful viewing!

Jeff- Fasinating information and what a gorgeous MT entry. Love the lines formed by its twisting neck and the beuaty of the color is just dazzling. Love your presentation, the dark background, the lighting, and the beautiful features. I always get a kick out of how they bury their beaks in their feathers. Gorgeous work my friend.Melinda B.
