This was done a little differently than the first flamingo picture...it has just a slight Orton Effect. When blending the layers, the image was darkened, which I happened to like, because it highlighted the lighter feathers.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

Jim this is one fantastic shot! I love love love the softness. Your color and lighting are spot on. I typically don't like frames but both this one and your other flamingo pics work well with it. Faved and saved!!!!

The details are amazing. You have made a flamingo look as elegant as a swan.

Outstanding Jim - I'd nominate it for the Art Council but that's been done - one of your best ever with wonderful flow and lighting.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I knew a ballet dancer that did that once. At least I think she said she was a dancer.

Hi everyone thankyou all for taking the time to look and comment on my photos/artwork...unlike many of you i am not a photographer im a stay at home mom! however i always always have my camera to hand and im slowly learning how to edit the photos i capture with adobe. I use my FujiFilm FinePix S1600 to capture 90% of my photos. Again i'd just like to say thankyou again who to everyone for making me feel welcome here at Caedes. Emily x

Great shot! The color and softness create an outstanding image. Very nicely composed, as well. And I like the frame.
