Ha Annick,

Een mooie compositie en mooi gecropped,misschien dat de snavel er niet helemaal goed uitkomt door de donkere achtergrond,TFS

ps, (misschien weet je dit al,maar..)
ik zie dat je CS2 als nabewerkingsprogramma gebruikt,ik zie dat je je exif data steeds handmatig bijschrijft,als je echter in CS2 nadat je je foto bewerkt hebt opslaat met opslaan als (sava as) dan blijft de exif data aan de foto plakken en als je hem vervolgens oplaad bij treknature staat de exif er automatisch bij (als je de foto echter opslaat met save for web dan plakt de exif niet aan de foto en moet je alles handmatig doen).

Hi Annick,
You asked for hard critique, so here we go... :-)
The beak, the beak and the beak!!!!
The curved black part of it misses with the background...this is not an easy exposure shot.
Did you make some adjustment to the background? I mean, was it as dark as we seen it?
For the rest of the picture it works great. The contrast with the subtle pink tone of the feathers are very good.
You got very clear and sharp details on the plumage.
The composition is a very good one with the crop you made.
Well done, thanks for share it and best regards,
JM

Precioso retrato. Muy buenos detalles.Quizá el fondo tan oscuro hace menos visible el pico...pero es mi opinión Annick.
Un buen trabajo en conjunto. Saludos, JL.

Hello Annick,
This was obviously a very challenging exposure task. I see the "beak problem" but then again, I don't see it as much of an issue. There really isn't much you can do about it anyway. PP can do only so much without ruining something else. The color and the grace of the 'mingo steal the show, so I wouldn't lose sleep over "da beak."
Best wishes,
Hakan

Hi Annick, this is very artistically shown. The dark bg looks good for the feathers, they show up so well against it, but the bill is harder to see. TFS

Hello Annick,
a very nice shot the colors and the details are so wonderful. Excellent definition in the plumage anbd the sharpness ist excellent. It would be nice if the BG would be a bit lighter as the beak of the bird does not show up very well. Otherwise a wonderful composition.

Une excellente photo de ce flamant. Composition, netteté, profondeur de champ et couleurs sont parfaites. Dommage pour le bec noir que l'on perd dans l'arrière-plan sombre. Très beau travail! Merci pour le partage!

I think the dark negative shapes here are just wonderful. They make the whole composition just pop. Nice work.

Hi Annick,
Lovely form of the bird, Now for hard critique!
Ive lost half the beak, probably a litle more crop on the right would limit the slightly blurred shoulder & enhance the s shaped form.Thats as critical as i can get.

I love the color on this flamingo, Annick.
Excellent focus and exposure.
Great eye contact.
The crop is very artistic.
It is a bit hard to see the black tip of the beak against the dark BG.

Hi Annick,
Great composition, colors and details are excellent, as already pointed out with the dark background you lose a bit of the black beak, but this is out of your control here and the rest of the shot is superb.
