Challenge: Feathers (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark III
Lens: Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS

 I knew I wanted to do this as soon as the challenge was announced. Luckily I got my chance in the middle of the week and made it to the zoo. The flamingos were not close today, so even with 400mm, I had to crop significantly.

That tight crop made editing a bit more difficult, as things like sharpening had much bigger of an impact than I'm used to.

I am elated with the result, I hope it does well.

The theme is well depicted. I love the colours. Nice flow of lines made by the composition of the feathers

Now you are going to make me go Google the title. I really like the lighting, colors and texture. This would have worked well for the pastels challenge as well.
