this is glorious Sandy ..
many congratulations on your fourth place in the challenge .. xx

I'm sorry this got so little love during voting .. as in comments and high votes ..

it's a bit sad that things are quite different here in dpc than they were back in the day .. where I feel there was so much more of a community atmosphere with more comments and a less harsh approach to voting ..
they keep saying its a place to learn .. and it was for me for many years .. but when our photos go unappreciated with so little feedback as to why .. it's no wonder ppl are leaving ..

I love this photo .. its very beautiful .. and thankyou for the backstory .. that's just another way we can connect here in dpc .. xxxx

Lovely atmosphere and composition. It needs a slight clockwise rotation.

Somehow this does not work for me. It seems very flat and soft. The light does not do much to enhance the shapes. Textures don't come out. (too much processing?)

Very beautiful work Sandy! I've never tried to shoot a flamingo. Well, that wouldn't be good! I mean photograph one. You have done a brilliant job of it here. Congrats on the Blue.
