I'm not a fan of flamingos (don't know why), but I love this picture! I like how you captured the water droplets and the messed-up feathers. Great job!

LOL - for a minute, I thought it was dinner!
Delightful, splashy take on the Challenge. Good 'catch' and good image.

Slower shutter speed would have shown some interesting motion in birds wings and water. Good color and sharpness. Would prefer the bird not be so dead centered (review rule of thirds).

Flaming hot flamingo in motion with cool water. Rare shot!

Beautiful shot! I'd give it a perfect 10 had the water been slightly lighter, so the colours on its wings would stand out more. That said, it doesn't take away anything from the capture.

Water ballet? Synchronized swimming? I love flamingos.

A lot of flamingo shots this time of year, but the movement of the water splashes makes this one for me. Nice job. 8

Wow! Looks like the flamingo is enjoying the water. Like all of the water splashes.
