I really like the image, the only thing is that if it were mine I would clone out the bird that is flying overhead and maybe clone a little off the top and bottom.

I verymucj like the composition of this. Great color. Ambivalent about the gull.

Sweet composition, Andrea. I like the light and the one erect bird in the middle. I might think about going with more of a pano crop,but that would eliminate the bird in the air,and I think that's a nice little touch.

Very nice, Andrea. I like that you have Flamingos completely across the frame, however I think I would be tempted to crop just a tad off of the bottom to bring the line of birds just a bit more off center. Great image as posted.

Very interesting shot and for me I like the idea of cropping just below the bird in flight and going more with a pano presentation. The reflections really add to this image, way to go.

I agree with the others on the pano crop for this lovely shot.

Lovely low perspective and setting Andrea. Maybe even a slightly more pano crop?

cheers

Love the reflection and the solo bird in flight really anchors the image in position for me. Well done, this is really appealing!

Absolutely love this shot Andrea. The composition is wonderful. The single bird flying about the group adds interest. The POV is excellent.
