Indeed, I agree with most of the comments below, and let me take this time to congratulate you on a 6+ score on your 2nd challenge.
The big 6 (as I call it) is not easy to reach imho, and says something about your photo.
The color of the flamingo is absolutely amazing, and the detail and sharpness (as I understand you didn’t even use USM) is brilliant.
Just let me say that this is realy a pretty picture, and I guess it would look good framed, hanging on somebody’s wall (hint, hint)
Now about some critique:
Yes there are still some things to say about this picture.
Title: I don’t think the title adds something to this photo. I am to lazy to come up with something better now, but it’s long and doeas not realy tell you anything more.
Composition: Good, you didn’t crop, this is what came out of your camera, but maybe, just maybe with a little wider shot, this could be even better. I guess you tried that, and you have lots of pictures of this same bird on your hard disk, and this was the best one, but I would still like to see just a bit more maybeâ€Â¦
As you already said yourself, the other flamingo could have been cloned out, and it would have made the beautiful contrast with the black background even more perfect, but I don’t find it really distracting.
Again, it’s a beautiful picture, and if I where you I would put it up for print, or at least hang it on your own wall.
If you have any questions, comments or other things about this critique, or are bored and want to spam someone just PM me.
Grrrtzzz
