Scary teeth - they look like metal pins!
An excellent portrait, stunning.
Incredible detail, I can't believe how strong the colour is. They always look so subtle from a distance. I recently read at Marwell zoo that they put dye in their food so that they keep their colour. Is this the same at your bird park?
Excellent pov. Well done and thanks for posting.

Excellent crisp, clean shot. A beauty.
Well done on the composition and details.

honestly, shame about the black frame, it doesn't work for this beautiful image.

What time did you shoot this one, excellent lighting.

Beautiful bird, lovely colors and pose!
The details are very sharp and the BG blurred enough.
I agree with Mike about the black frame, it does'nt work.
I love the teeth, superb work Pieter!

Well done!

One angry looking Flamingo Pieter. He's a bit grubby too, so maybe he didn't like you showing this side of him. Good capture, great colours and details. There's no problems that I can find. And I love the frame too. Well done.

Excellent clarity and detail in this shot! The open beak is an amazing bonus. I would agree, though, that the black border doesn't really add anything to the photo.

Wow, great brilliant color, Pieter!
Excellent details, POV and BG in this interesting composition.
I might have forgone the black border/frame, however, it is personal.
Thank you for sharing this great posting.
I didn't realize that they have teeth...

Amazing clarity and colour to this image Pieter, detail and composition are excellent. Its a very striking capture. The border is the only nit I have with this. Very fine work, well done.

Hello Pieter, This may be the first time I've been able to actually count the teeth of a flamingo in a capture ;-)) Razor sharp, excellent details, colors, exposure, DOF and POV. Very well done! P.S. Oh yeah, IMHO, a solid black border would work better here...

Very good picture, Pieter.
I agree with the others about the frame, it's not nice, otherwise its a great picture.
Beautiful colours, good POV, well composed and good details.
Great work, my friend.

Hi Pieter

A beautiful subject, and I think, one of your best photos. Really good sharpness, excellent plain blurred background but most of all the exposure is spot on. Lots of detail in the dark beak but also the light skin and the eye.
Not a criticism, just a comment, but I'd like to see more of the bird - and more space then to exen it out. That is of course not an option on an 800 pixel photo without losing detail but I expect a large print on the wall would look great!
Very well done.
Andy.

Hi Pieter, I have to say I've never seen a flamingo up close. I think your image is fantastic in every way, doing great justice to the bird. The fact that I don't much like the shape of the bird's beak is neither here 'nor there and neither its fault nor yours *grin*. The sharpness and colours are fantastic and it is very nicely composed. I'm going out on a limb here and saying I like the black border :)

When this guys, open the mouth, they seem to have it up side down. Very nice quality, excellent detail and allow me to say that the framing does not meet my personal preferences this time :D
For the rest, a great shot, good work and TFS.

Hi Pieter. Greetings from Seattle, Washington, one of the stops on my vacation. I just had to come online and check out your photos. Did not want to miss anything. I like your title. You are so silly and you make me laugh : )
I never knew that flamingoes had "teeth" on their beaks until you showed me. That bird's pose is hilarious. A great capture, with sharp details and good light. Well done and TFS. : )

Very well done.

A stunning capture, Pieter! I didn't think birds had teeth...are those some sort of strainers? Lovely!

Razor shrarp Pieter, don'tthink I've seen the inside of a flamingo's mouth before. Well done.

By seeing all these teeth, it is here that I realize that not to be a shrimp, it is an advantage. LOL
The frame is a tasteful question but it does not really harm here. On the other hand, I wonder what are all these circles in the bottom of the image? As for the composition, for the colour, for the neatness of details, I am delighted, it is a good work.

En voyant toutes ces dents, c'est ici que je réalise que de ne pas être une crevette, c'est un avantage. LOL
L'encadrement est une question de goût mais il ne nuit pas réellement ici. Par contre, je me demande ce que sont tous ces ronds dans le fond de l'image? Pour ce qui est de la composition, de la couleur, de la netteté des détails, je suis ravie, c'est un bon travail.

What a great opportunity, Pieter. You didn't missed it! Amazing image, well caught on the right time. Wonderful colors and feathers details. The dentist will be happy with this one too. The frame? Well I think it has been said yet. Wasn'it Peter Sellers (also pink, but the panther) who said "Nobody's perfect" after creating one of his typical catastrophic situations...

Hello,
Such incredible details! I actually never realised that Flamingos have such sharp teeth and your note was so informative as well. But, most of all it's a fantastic image and the colour is so bright and vivid.

WELL DONE!!!
