You know Doyle I suggested a shot of sat. for your other shot, It looks like this one had a shot too much. Somewhere in between would be my choice. Regards Ron.

Great bold colour to this flamingo and I like the depth of field chosen. Works well.

Oh my God the eye Doyle! I can't believe you got it like this. Just stunning. The clarity, closeness, colours, lighting and all the beautifu textures. Great background too. And mounted beautifully. A classic.

Superb colours and details, nice cropping.

 DD - I love it Ron! This bird was practically blood red. The variety of color is stunning. In checking the greens and (especially) the eye . . . you can see that the color is not really so saturated - but the bird is! I have some group shots I'll have to post with the birds ranging from red to white and many colors in between! Both images were given slight saturation which I do routinely so that the resize and upload don't affect the quality. I do appreciate your comments though.
Regards,

Hi Doyle,
Love the flaming saturation. Great shot, and a very elegant composition, doing justice to the flamingo. Impressive shot, with a very high image quality, Very good stuff! Don't think the saturation is too high here, but that's also a personal preference, I generally speaking like highly saturated images. I do see Ron's point, though. The contrast between the peach and green is fabulous.
Only thing I wonder about is if actually including the neck of the flamingo to it's body wouldn't have made this shot just a tad more balanced. Looking at the margin on top, it seems you had the space to play with, even without zooming out... Minor detail, as usual...:)
Cheers,
Hugo

This is superb - bold colours and a bold crop. I like the simplicity of the background that seems to echo the bird's feathers.
I feel really mean saying this (but by now I think you know I'm trying to be helpful), but the feathers on the extreme right seem just a tad burnt out. Maybe localised PS could help here - cropping would unbalance the image.

Dear Doyle
So you`ve been to the zoo lately?:-) What a magnificent flamingoportrait. I`m particularly fascinated by its eyes. Amazing how you make them stand out so bright. It looks like the eyes of a reptile! The textures of the leaves and the colours in general are wonderful.
Springgreetings,
Annemette

Thanks for the (honest) comments . . . they're always appreciated. Often they draw attention to overlooked things. They don't seem to "tick me off" unless they're right and you seem to have an eye for those details ;D. These are things I need to hear and I appreciate hearing them . . . it's one of the best things you get from UF (If you want them). I had not considered localized PS, but will certainly do so in the future. Thank you for your honesty and help!
Thanks,

The zoo? Who, me? These might have been in my front yard in Florida, although they would have been plastic! -Yes, I had to try the new 300mm at the zoo! Thanks for the comments.

Never heard there was a classic 'S' but I get it . . . and suppose there is. They should call it, however, the classic dyslexic 'S' . . . or the dysclassic 's' . . . - Ok, too much . . . but thanks for the comments.

Fantastic clarity Doyle in this wonderful wildlife composition. They keep flamingoes at a park close to us and it is amazing how their colourings vary. This one looks awesome and the details are stunning. Well done to you my friend. Sorry for the late commenting.....work! Very best wishes to you.....Ray
