I personally think the title does no justice for the picture and challenge, but it is an incredible shot! I really like it! Good luck

great photo but IMHO a tad sharper is needed on the eyes

Very nice, like the soft colors. What tiny pupil's they have...

... can almost feel the feathers!

Nice. There was actually a feature on flamingoes in NG 30 years ago with a similar picture ... so you are in the right track. I wish for a more vivid coloration though ... so perhaps added saturation (?) might enhance this already excellent picture.

very well composed. A top shot. Could do with a dash more color or contrast just seems ever so slightly flat

Nice work!

I would have saturated a bit to make the pink / red stand out even more.

great shot. I think you could crop even a bit closer at the top believe it or not. great close up!

Nice shapes, the eye looks someone deadish without any eye highlight.

This came out great. I can see so much detail in the feathers and then there’s the graceful S shape that looks very NG. I'm sure this is doing well. Congratulations. 10

This is a beautiful composition... The curves look 'seductive' and this creature seems to be 'inviting' me.. flirting with me... excellent capture :)

Intense color and sharp eye. Nicely composed NG shot.

It's beautiful! Good light.

Very nice. Possibly a little under-saturated - these guys are really bright - but a fantastic composition.
