:iconanimalsandnatureclub:
i totally agree with =leocbrito

the emotion of this picture is just amazing. i have never seen one like it before. the colors are wonderful and
the blurred background just pulls everything together.
very well composed and like said above the crop is well done just to focus on the 2 flamingos.
the pose is a site to see. i love how their necks almost make a perfect heart.

it's funny how mother nature always surprises us with her beauty and it always pops when you least expect it. it's when the beauty happens you have to figure out how to capture it. not everyone does. so very well done.

A fantastic subject, and the way you have the birds slightly off center, while the heart shape of their necks remains in the center upper half of the image adds interest to the viewer, that is nicely done, and I understand why you have done this.

However I feel that in this case, having the birds in the very center, while adding vingnetting (perhaps even as far to black on the edges) around the focus would have really made this image pop. As it is the eye wanders into the unimportant areas of this photo, drawing the focus away from the necks of the birds, and hence the 'story' of this photo.

Also, not sure if the background is unlevel, or the photo itself is skewed. Judging by the water, id say it's the walkway itself. Just an example of the eye wandering from the actual focus of the image.

Great image, such vivid colours :aww: I like that there's more of them in the background too.

Bresson said 'The decisive Moment', this is a good example.

Great pose, great timing and gotta love the colour (red, greens and blues) ... although I'd probably tweak it and rotate about 1-2 degrees anticlockwise.

Obligatory favorite. :)
