I love flamingos. I love the way they can contort their necks, and the odd way they sleep on one leg, and their gorgeous color.

"Blown away"? I'm getting blown away with your animal pictures :) Nice diagonal composition, amazing colors and textures. The border definitely adds to the picture

Kelli, this is gorgeous. Even more so in full size. I wasn't too sure that I would like it as much (from the thumbnail) but once it opened up ... WOW!!!
And I think the border is genius.

I do too, Kelli! I love to take pictures of flamingos, but this is such a unique and artistic take on one. They are typically pastel and soft, but I love the surprise and unexpectedness of this. Very nice!!!

I like the real ones the yard fake faded plastic are tacky!
The real ones like this fellow are beautiful, i love the way the light reflects their color.

You really have to step away from the screen to fully appreciate the great form and color in this! And then take a closer look to see the fine detail and wonderful movement. Wonderful composition and a perfect choice of subject!

I really like what the processing does with the feathers - the texture and the color. Great pose from this guy and very good composition on your part.

I love the detail and texture -- from the thumbnail I thought I was going to see one of those canyons in the Southwest. Not crazy about that border, though. I'd rather look at the bird. But that's just me. 8)

This is truly funky but just terrific. I like how he's almost encased within the constraints of the image. Beautiful colors and that border is wild. :~)

How pretty! They are one of the most unusual and beautiful birds to see. I like the eye in this shot.

Hey Kelli, that's a pretty neat effect. I like the border too. Are those both PS tools?
