Re: photo opinion wanted

[John Forbes]

I agree with Frank (no comments, please).  This picture is all about 
colour, and it hits you in the face with it.  Very powerful.  As for the 
legs; flamingos have very long ones, and the body wouldn't dominate the 
frame if the legs were included.  The picture just wouldn't work.

Great shot.

I think it's a terrific photo!
I like the bend in the bird's neck;  it's not quite your average,
stereotypical flamingo shot.  Lovely colours, beautiful bokeh, and, what
makes it for me are the OOF pink birds in the background.  They're 
almost
abstract:  the only way I know they're flamingoes is their colour (which
is
exactly the same as the subject).  Lovely touch, that!!
I can't think of a way to improve it.
Thanks, frank.  Several people have said the bokeh is horrible.  I do 
like
the other birds in the background.  Do you think the missing legs 
distract
from the image.  Funny, it's all I see in it anymore!
