love the drip.. the wacky bill looks so different straight on.
what a 'neat and tidy' pose this bird has given you.. beautiful textures.. love the uncluttered backdrop, keeps the eye from wandering.. great composition too
Just told my 5.th grade students about your Flamingo Fridays - they loved it, especially when I told about the one with the chrome and plush bird :-)
And as always a nice capture.
I sure they are well aware of your presence may be even saying I hope Ron picks me this week, Beautiful capture with wonderful composition, colour and fine detail another great Flamingo capture:)
@runner365 Oh, man, you told you class about this?!? What an honor!! I hope meet their obviously high expectations in the future! Ask them if they have any requests! Thanks so much Claes!
@redy4et Thanks Elizabeth! No, as much as I'd like to I don't go to the zoo all that often. But between the SD zoo and Wild Animal Park, there are enough opportunities to build a good stock of photos for weekly distribution. I did happen to capture this one on the actual day though. Thanks for commenting!
@aglennc Gee, Poppo said I was getting the death stare and Louise said he was looking down his nose at me. Many different interpretations of his look. I happen to agree with you. ;-)
@cjphoto@onewing@naomi Gee, and I just got done responding to Anita above that everyone seems to see something different in his gaze at me. So that's two votes for looking straight my way and one for the evil eye. Very interesting! Thanks so much for viewing and commenting though!
@888rachel Thanks Rachel. I think I mentioned elsewhere that I had a similar shot focusing on just the feathers that I use as my wallpaper. Nature at work! Thanks for stopping by!
...and I think he's been swilling again...
