This is very lovely - the change from highlights to shadows top right to bottom left is excellent.

Congrats for such an AMAZING shot, and a super FS score!!! This is really great picture; I know from experience that flamingos can be a real pain to take pictures of. :o)

Hello Janine, greetings from the Critique Club!

Well, what to say to such a beautiful photo?
On a personal matter, I liked the photo very much, scored it a 7 because of the closeup abstract feel to it, very smooth.

Composition
Very good usage of leading lines, the transition from pink feathers to fluffy white ones is very appealing, and gives a finishing touch to the whole photo.

Lighting
Incredibly smooth, very balanced and with those small hints of shadows, it creates a very textured work.

Processing
This I can say is the only point where it lost points, I imagine it a top 5 if the feathers were just a tad sharper.
I think the border is ok, and it's very tasteful, and it adds to the picture (some of course can disagree, but it's also a matter of personal taste for me).

Again, congratulations on such a great photo and great score!

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao

It almost has that abstract look. Nice colors.

Bird as abstract. It works, mostly because there's very nice light on the diagonal. And flamingos are nicely colorful.

I'm a sucker for the pinks in flamingos and you've captured the colour and feather detail here beautifully. Would prefer this without the heavy black frame however .. a much more delicate frame would seem appropriate.
