Wow. Beautiful shot, even with the 'mud'(?). Tempted to say I'd like to see that beak (especially those lamellae) sharper, but difficult to retain such fine focus as you have on the head/eye I imagine. The eye is very nice, especially with the very complementary background. Very nice capture. I like the tight crop too, no other way to show this detail in the head/beak without it, maybe just a fraction more off the right/neck, who knows. edit: 'teeth' to lamellae, the correct name for the combed section of the 'Roman nose' (beak). Due to the darker coloring, I assume this is an American Flamingo - Phoeniconais ruber ruber.
edit #2: didn't realize this had been edited from the 'out of camera' version, nevertheless still excellent and you have done well with the pp and, the tighter crop gives much better detail than in the 'original'.
