This is what I was saying---I dont find this pose photogenic at all. But your post yesterday was great.

@Shuva: Well, thanks for the complement about yesterday's image. I consider this pose to be unique and gracefull. I love it. That's why photographed it. But, to each his own. :0)

If it wasn't real, you wouldn't believe it existed, flamingoes are very strange looking. You have made a fantastic shot of it.

These are all great...Just got back from the Sacramento Zoo where they had some great looking flamingos. I may post one in the next day or so myself.

@William: Too cool man! All these flamigos and the coming animal shots were done at the Sacramento Zoo last Saturday. The only thing I had problems with was the sun. I went at the wrong time of the day. The zoo opens at 9:00 am. If I go again, I'll deffinetly get there right at opening before the sun gets too hot and blows all my highlights away.
amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
Perfect pose. Love the small reflection in the water. Can't beat the colour of a flamingo.

Beautiful! I love the surroundings too. The lush green really sets off the flamingo's color well.
