Fantastic shot!
I also love the darkness behind the bird. And the light coming down on him is fantastic.

This is gorgeous! The crispness and detail is stunning and the lovely form of the flamingo really stands out against the black background. Nicely taken, it's a winner!

One of the few shots I've seen that actually make this interesting bird look elegant. The background sets off the plummage so well and it's a lovely work in contrast as well.

thankyou all for your comments - they're all very much appreciated! my only problem with the photo is that i uploaded it at a 6"x4" aspect ratio - so the photo looks squished in the ones you can download from caedes, as it adjusted it to a screen 4x3 ratio. because i cant upload a new one to replace this, (as i'd lose all those comments) here is a link to an 'unsquished' version -
