The reflection of the bird in the water is nice, as is the color, but the upper area of this shot is over-exposed, hurting the overall look. ((5))

Great bird picture, but the highlights in the background are all blown out. I always find these types of shots difficult to pull off. They are always metering nightmares.

This would benefit from some attention being given to the background, it's distractingly bright.

oh, what a moment you've captured here. aren't these birds beautiful? i hope your image is not getting overlooked in this huge challenge, and that you are getting good feedback. as much as i like what you've entered, i can't help but feel it is somewhat unfinished, that there are a few things left to do in post-processing that could really take this image up a notch. but, hey, that's just my opinion. you have a nice image, and that's what matters. good luck with this, and all the challenges yet to come!

Great subject - i like what you've tried to do with the reflection in the foreground - but it's spoilt a little by the debris floating in the water. The focus on the flamingo is spot on, but the overexposed background is a little distracting.

Too bad about the backround being so heavily overexposed because the pelican is perfectly exposed and in a very interesting location and position so it could have been a great shot. Keep it up.

background is a little blown out, distracting from the bird, but the reflection is great

Just a tad overexposed.

A bit too much overexposed at the top. The rest is very nice though.

nice reflections of the flamingo, but the roks at the back are too blown-out, and the horizon looks tilted.

A little bright on the background rocks, but overall a wonderful image.

if you'd cropped out the blown highlights at the top, or used a graduated neutral density filter, I would have rated this much higher!

The highlights in the background are bit destracting, probably better to crop tighter on the top of the image.
