Five Flamingo Friends  by taffy

Five Flamingo Friends

For Flamingo Friday, started by @stray_shooter
Taken at Lake Makati in Tanzania, like my earlier ones, but processed today using PS and Silver Efex (highly recommend this for b&w processing) so it fits Flash of Red theme.
Best clicked to black to see full image (it shows up as the right side missing in my feed for some reason).
Beautiful capture, I will dive in my archive later to see if I can post a flamingo shot this Friday

beautiful processing to create this b&w image
February 8th, 2019  
Simply fabulous!

Beautiful , clean , high key and minimalistic - A beautiful image ! fav

Such a neat image! Nice lines of their necks and legs and great reflections. Perfect for B&W.

Clean

These are wonderful Taffy. I do like how the processing reduces this to a minimum but without loosing the detail (hope that makes sense). Ah - I think others have found the word I am looking for - clean is exactly what I mean.

Amazing. I find b&w fits so well wildlife photography... these last African pictures are masterpieces!
February 8th, 2019  
Taffy this is wonderful. Graphic. And as you say it’s even better on black. Fav
February 8th, 2019  
Wow...Such a neat high-key image that literally pops on black :)
February 8th, 2019  
Superb capture and fantastic on black! So glad to see you participating in Flamingo Friday, Taffy.
February 8th, 2019  
Looking forward to flamingo Friday (now that the power is back on!) and wondering how you could top previous shots. I have a new fav!
February 8th, 2019  
Great. Fav!
February 8th, 2019  
@stray_shooter I'm so glad you started it -- I'd always really liked your images, so I was really excited about the opportunities in Africa. And I love having about 50 images to work with, challenging myself to do something different each time. So thanks go to you!
February 8th, 2019  
You really are a true artist! Fantastic! fav
February 8th, 2019  
I agree... BoB :)
Love the reflections in b&w.
February 8th, 2019  
Wonderful editing
February 8th, 2019  
so gorgeous!
February 8th, 2019  
Yep, this one is just oh so right!
February 8th, 2019  
Looks great in B&W.
February 8th, 2019  
The b&w really emphasises those lanky legs
February 8th, 2019  
Wonderful edit, it just pops on black.
Taffy, just quick aside, I clicked on your tag to link back to see other flamingo Friday images. That uses a hyphen, you've used an underscore. Not sure if that is a mistake or you have created your own tag.
February 8th, 2019  
@markp Thanks! I just fixed all my tags. Definitely a typo on my part, and I kept cutting and pasting it from earlier photos.
February 9th, 2019  
This is great in b&w!
February 9th, 2019  
Very striking image, even more so on black
February 9th, 2019  
Gorgeous!
February 9th, 2019  
This is so beautiful!
February 9th, 2019  
Beautiful reflections!
February 9th, 2019  
This so delicate Taffy. There is a stillness and quiet to this image that I really like. I wouldn't have thought flamingos would look good in b&w but you've proved me wrong!
February 9th, 2019  
Fantastic high key! I seriously like everything about this. Taffy, this should be hanging on a wall!
February 9th, 2019  
Love the high key for these guys.
February 9th, 2019  
I was trying to work out if those leg patterns spelled a word.......but not quite. Nice in mono
February 9th, 2019  
Great in b&w. Lovely reflections.
February 9th, 2019  
Well done
February 9th, 2019  
Just marvellous!
February 9th, 2019  
I like this high key photo with lots of open space. Really focuses attention on the flamingos. Also good for the FlashofRed2019 challenge.
February 10th, 2019  
Love this!
February 10th, 2019  
Great high key and wonderful reflections
February 10th, 2019  
Fantastic shot
February 10th, 2019  
Elegant.
February 11th, 2019  
Stunning in b&w
