i'm really unsure about how this will do. i sorta think voters might be tired of animals after last week's wildlife challenge but this is all i could come up with. since i didnt have a tripod and i was using high zoom for most of the day i set my camera for a really high ISO to get a quicker shutter(i was surprised at the quality i still got). i'm really not a big fan of flamingos but it just sorta happened.

this was taken outside with the flamingo about six feet away. i think i may have went a little too strong with unsharp mask, but it really gave the picture some texture.

How do you get a flamingo into your studio? A stunning study in pink & black.

A very nice shot. This is the fluffiest I have ever seen a flamingo. For me, the eye of an animal or person is the central spot of the subject and where my eye rests. For this challenge, I would have liked the eye to have been a little further from the centre. Otherwise, a very fine photo. JMO.

Need to have some more definition on his beak. It just blends into the black background.

This is so captivating. I studied it for a long time. His eyes and the layers of feathers, not to mention the variation of the salmon color. His eye is stunning. 9
