The waterfall garden of the Pink Flamingoes

A lovely place to visit.

Alec, A lovely place to visit, I agree. Just keep out of trouble & leave the apples at home:) Excellent composition. Must be rare to get a grouping of birds like that. The contrast is high, which gives it impact but causes lost details in the highlights. Any post exposure manipulation or was this the way it really looked? Best, LM.

It looks like a beautiful place to visit, Alec. Nice capture, too, and I like the colors of the animals. Just a thought: did you consider a composite; a long exposure to blur the water and a second to catch the birds?

a very suggestive image..and beautiful dark water!!!

Yes Len, I did saturate the colors a bit as the feathers look weak.

 

Richard, You are right, I should have used a slower exposure for the waterfall.

 

Francesco, thanks for visiting and your kind comments.

Gorgeous light in this, Alec, and the waterfalla inthe background are a refreshing touch.

Nice composition. Interested to know is the slow shutter speed intentional?

Alec, Impressive shot. I like the reflection and may I know what time this shot was taken?

very nice , so peacefull and beautifull..

Paula, Johnny thanks for your comments.

 

Matthew, it was dark and cloudy so the shutter speed had to be 1/60 or lower.

 

Spencer it was taken around noon before the rain.

I love the colours and reflections.

Nice lining up of birds & shimmering reflection.

OK I tried another PS for slower speed on the waterfall. Does it work?

Keep to the original shot Alec. I think you have done a fine job to capture all that in one exposure. Two exposures to blend - great in theory, but in practise - ........you know what they say about working with children and ANIMALS!! I really appreciate this shot - well done, very high impact and vivid - sticks in my mind.

Thanks Matty, I think it's looks fake too. Hmmm. Back to the drawing board. LOL!

I'm sorry I missed this one earlier on Alec.......I like water to look like water....I think it is fine the way it is........water is an energy, a life force.....when it looks all blurry.........where's the excitement in that??? With the water this way, it tells a totally 'different story" I'm sure the flamingos would agree...........I love the reflections!!! Very nicely done!
