Flamingo (and Chrome) Friday - 022 by stray_shooter

Flamingo (and Chrome) Friday - 022

Combining objectives the Friday. Of course Fridays are for flamingos, but my get-pushed challenge, courtesy of kali (@kali66) was to photograph an interesting reflection in polished chrome. So I decided to combine the two. The polished chrome is, of course, the tank console on the gas tank of my Harley.
Here ya go @kali66. Polished chrome and a bonus flamingo!

Great fun image love it! Why am I not surprised that the chrome on your Harley is so clean and shiny!
January 28th, 2017  
Haha loving the stuffed flamingo Ron! Great job getting that reflection too!
January 28th, 2017  
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
January 28th, 2017  
Clever concept and a two-for as well
January 28th, 2017  
Superb reflections and colours beautifully combined Ron yet again you have risen to the challenge and not a finger mark to be seen:)
January 28th, 2017  
That is one well-polished Harley. Not a finger print on it anywhere. There may be a flamingo beak mark on it now tho. The initial response at seeing this pic was a giant laugh! I love your flamingo buddy.

Fun shot - like it :-)

As I am your Get Pushed partner what do you feel about light trails for your challenge. I hope you can return the favour by challenging me to something.

So cute! He makes me smile staring so intently into his reflection. I'm running out of Flamingo's!

@la_photographic So we get paired up once again for get-pushed 236! OK, I'm ready to take on light trails. This should be interesting! I see you are taking on the 100 strangers challenge. Great challenge - I've been working my way through that for a while now. So let's combine things a bit and add something. How about a black and white portrait of someone with their pet? I think you should have fun with that. Good luck!

a bit narcissistic on the flamingos part, haha

I totally recognize the flamingo's love-struck eyes as those of my cat when he climbs on my lap and buries his face in my sweater! I'm not shy ...my vote goes to your chrome-reflected flamingo!

@joysfocus Ikea...$1.98

@stray_shooter I will do my best - hopefully I will find someone with a pet although I think maybe wait until Wednesday when I will be starting the Flash of Red project.

Hehe this is fun
January 29th, 2017  
Terrific :)
January 29th, 2017

@pamknowler Thanks Pam - it's pretty much Harley law - must keep it clean and shiny.....after riding the crap out of it of course.
January 31st, 2017  
@cjphoto Thanks Chris - I knew you'd take to the flamingo!
January 31st, 2017  
@jorlam Thanks so much - brilliant, of course, having a double meaning I'm sure. I appreciate it!
January 31st, 2017  
@salza Thanks Sally - always good to kill two birds with one stone......or two flies with one swat, as they say in Sweden. ;-)

@pcoulson Ha, yes, I made sure to remove all finger marks, dirt, and grime before taking the photo. I had been riding in the rain a few days previous to this so the entire bike was covered with a layer of grime. The photo session helped motivate me to clean her up! Thanks for the kind comments Peter.
January 31st, 2017  
@lyndemc Thanks Denise. As I stated to Peter above, there was plenty of unappealing marks on the whole bike prior to taking the photo. I would have been thrown out of the biker community had I allowed it to be photographed with dirt on it - beak marks notwithstanding.
January 31st, 2017  
@runner365 Thank you Claes - I do appreciate it!
January 31st, 2017  
@joysfocus Thanks Joy - I'm sure you'll be able to find flamingos of one type or another before long. ;-)
January 31st, 2017  
@kali66 Definitely narcissistic! Who wouldn't be when you see yourself in a funhouse mirror though?
January 31st, 2017  
@Weezilou Oh, he's "my cat" now?!? ;-) I'm sure he'd gaze at his reflection in a similar way - but no way in hell do I allow any kitties in that location!
January 31st, 2017  
@naomi Thanks Naomi!
January 31st, 2017  
@gilbertwood Thank you kindly Denise.
January 31st, 2017  
@jin1x Glad to be able to brighten your day some. Thanks!
January 31st, 2017  
@tigerdreamer Thanks so much Karen.
January 31st, 2017  
@stray_shooter LOL...whoops...slipped, didn't I? Very funny! I do recall that only plush objects that leave no paw prints are allowed on your bike!
