Beautiful photo-great brightness with balanced exposure. What would have (for me) taken this photo to another level is a complimentary colored background. While I appreciate the nod to authenticity of the moment - a green background or something less contrasting than the brown/rust would have really heightened the coral of those feathers and drawn attention to their magnificence. I even thought - the Vawendy treatment she had on her heron in painterly challenge would have been interesting

I feel the most delightful childish enchantment with the colour and grace of your Caribbean flamingo.

Yes. He is really homeless. He was asleep there when we arrived. My friend who visits the tunnel more often than I says that he is often there and always has the laptop with him. There a is fast food restaurant nearby, where I assume they let him occasionally recharge the laptop, warm up, etc.

This is a very good image and perfect for the challenge. I like that you integrated different walks of life in the tunnel, perhaps homeless, walkers and workers. For me and sadly, everything is different today than past perceptions of people and life styles.
Congratulations
