A jest more than a comment. In fact, I often agree with you, but argument
seems to be more fashionable than agreement on this list at the moment, so
I keep a low profile.

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.

Maybe by blurring??? That's what I thought he meant. Seems kind of
difficult.

Too much color saturation, ugly bokeh. Both can be
fixed...

Fix bokeh? Afterwards?

Indifferent to me. Just looks like a bird - nothing to really grab
me. The bokeh looks a little odd - what lens was it?

Hi ...
Well, the bokeh is quite harsh, the reason notwithstanding, and it fights
the great lines and shape of the flamingo. The colors are way too
saturated for my taste. Legs are nice to see in their entirety. There's a
pink wing tip intruding into the frame on the viewer's right. Big

That was my thought, too. I'd like to see more of a profile.

I'm a big fan of highly saturated colors, but I understand that a lot of
people don't like it. It can easily be toned down to a happy medium i'm
sure.

Fences... the problem w
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

Take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I would like it better if the legs
weren't cut off.
