You have a very interesting composition, but the shadows are very distracting and they lose a lot of detail, especially in the leg. There are also a few highlights that are too blown out.

Very nice. Looks like a sculture.

How poetic and simple. I like the unusual look at a Flamingo.

I would have named this Ying-Yang. That is awesome.

Beautiful dappled light and superb pose. This bird is an artist (and so are you)!

This is a just plain cool shot! This would have been a top finish in the Circle challenge. Even legs as leading lines, cool. I like the composition too. Great eye.

Ii like the contrast between the pink and the green, the subdued lighting is very restful adding to the way the subject is sleeping.

Beautiful composition. Lighting is pretty good too (a little harsh in spots, but I really like the shadows). Nice work.

'9' - This is a great photograph. Excellent capture. Perfect natural lighting. Beautiful colors. The only possible criticism I could offer, in my opinion, would be that possibly, a slight rotation to the left - and that is about it. But that may throw out the 'shape' of the body, not sure. Possibly a tighter crop vertically, but that would make this 'another' photograph (not a lesser one just different). I do like the semi-elongation as it is, it emphasizes the height of the bird while not detracting from the central 'body'. Again, even as a 'full length' this would still be great. It is the shape (and colors) of the body though, for me, that truly make this photograph so I think you have 'set' that just about perfectly. The dappled shade over the feathers makes this whole capture appear even softer. Very nice. Excellent opportunity and extremely well taken advantage of.

Pretty in the dappled light. HIs legs are almost invisible. Colors are lovely. Maybe blur out the background a bit more.
