I left this image a little dark on purpose to bring out the colors. Basically i just used levels and i dodged the eye a little to bring out the yellow.

I thought for sure this would have made the top 3. I gave this beautiful image a 10..

should have won by a mile.

I'm so shocked that this was not one of the top three. You were robbed! This photo captured the essence of NG for me. Great photo and still a 10 in my book.

gorgeous photo...if a little red. Did you adjust the contrast?

I'm not sure I like the way you've cut off the top of his neck.

Gorgeous color and I love the detail and detail you've captured. Cropping a bit too tight on top though. Fits the challenge super well...can really see this as a pic in NG. Well done.

beautiful

Very good depth of field. Textures are captured beautifully. You can almost feel the softness of the feathers. The lighter colored hues of the feathers brings you eyes attention to them. Must be really warm.

Beautiful color. It looks a little soft, and the neck is cut off. The color is almost good enough to carry this to the winners circle.

This is a NG caliber photo. Stunning really. Excellent color, exposed to perfection. I barely noticed that you cut off a little of the neck. It matters little to me though. Nice job 8

Bugger. Always someone who is a clear winner. Well done and congrats on your forthcoming ribbon ;)

Usualy wish good luck on images I rate 10, but don't really think you'll need it.

Super coloring, and great DOF. Too many people neglect the BG, including fences, white card, people etc but this is perfect with more pink birds. Great stuff.
10+

This is a beautifully flamboyant pink dream befitting the flamingo. 9

Beautiful capture. The feathers (?) on the head and neck look like velvet.
(I don't see pink on my monitor...orange tones.)

A really superb shot, I just wish we had all of the flamingo in the picture, but still great work

Whow.... very nice! Spot-on focus, nice soft color, great job!

Beautiful colors. Good contortion of your subject. DOF enhances the beauty of your already beautiful subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Excellent. apart from missing the neck... Just a little bit more on the top, so I could see the curve of the neck would have given this shot a 10. Still a 9 :)

Excellent framing and color. Good use of depth of field.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

the way the arc of the neck is cut off sort of detracts from the smooth flow of the bird overall..

nice and crisp, with a nicely blurred BG
