[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These are the flamingos we saw on Hong Kong Ocean Park during my me and my family's vacation in Hong Kong. I want to take a picture of them up close but we can't because it was raining that time so it was hard.

Beautiful! And the tropical green in the background makes these beautiful birds even more beautiful! Great photo!

Irene - welcome to treknature - these birds are amazingly beautiful - I like the rain drops in the water as well.
It's important not to have your subject in the middle - think in terms of thirds and keep posting :)
i have done a workshop on your lovely picture - i hope you like it.

Hi Irene,
Very nice scene, You composed it quite well, except for the cropping, foreground (the water) is a bit too much to my taste, but it's a minor problem. It seems like You focused on the greenery instead of the birds, because, although the green is tonally wonderful, the birds aren't sharp enough. But the biggest problem (for me) is the overexposure the flamingos got - almost all white are blown out. A pity, because otherwise this should have been a great image.
Tfs, best wishes, László from Hungary

Hello Irene, that's a beautiful composition with a good sharpness, the high lights are a bit OE though, well done, thanks!
