From the Critique Club

Highly detail capture. Cropping might have been to tight. Would have liked to see more of the bird but it is always not possible with the original file.

The background is a bit distracting in the sense their is green which compliments the whites and pinks but then the other bird just add's the same colors again.

Definately on the right track. And an overall nice shot.

Excellent color, clarity. Not sure if I like the blurred second flamingo in this vertical position. It looks a bit chopped off.

Nicely done. The focus on the first flamingo is right on and the echoing of the primary flamingo with the flamingo behind it gives the photo a nice depth.

The depth of field couldn't be any better.

I have a certain deja vu feel when I look at this photo. I know I have seen it before!
I wish I could remember where or when... I guess old age is getting me too.
Oh well, it's just beautiful. I love the colors and the DOF with that blured flamingo in the background.
the green is also a perfect match to this wonderful pink/orange bird.
Flamingos are my favorite of the birds. This is such a great take on the challenge. 8

either the cropping was too wide (crop to the head & eye) or it is too narrow (include more neck and wings); this crop IMHO is not right. The 2nd bird in the BG is a distraction. However, the colors, focus and clarity are tack on.

Looks like a reflection .... well done
