Ha- this is great! And the balance is implied - nice sublte touch, everyone should be able to envision a flamingo on one leg or a plastic one on one stick. nice composiiton, nice DOF.
Really cool use of the subject matter. The colours are awesome. The composition is excellent. There is nothing subtle about this and it works really well. Even the seam down the middle of the flamingo's head adds to the "drama". I wouldn't hang it on one of my walls but I'm sure there's a night-club or trendy cafe that would. Well Done.
I LOVE this picture, it makes me giggle everytime I see it... but the link to the challenge is LAME! Plastic flamingoes! ! It's just soooo camp! Very cool! Ha ha ha! Nice composition, love the eye contact, great use of shallow DOF. Ha ha ha ha. Pink plastic flamingoes... whoduhvthunkit?
Very funny shot, beautiful colors,and DOF. This is one of the few shots this week that both answers the challenge and would not need an explanation if you hung it on your wall. top ten
I`m not fond of pictures which use toys as props...there`s no real indication of balance in the image..just hinted at in the title....So why do I think this is really good ??
The mix of blue, pink and green in the blurred background is pleasantly complimentary. The head of the "flamingo" with the little highlight above the eye is nicely crisp and sharp in contrast to the background and placed to perfection.
Overall..great image...hope it does well.
