About Thought it was about time I loaded up a straightforward photo again, before you all thought I'd flipped!

Further to my earlier flamingo uploads, where I zoomed in on the birds, this one shows more of the context in which they were taken.

The reflected structure beaneath them is actually part of a bridge constructed to take the obligatory wildlife park train across the river.

So don't worry. I'm still sane. Well, almost?

Best regards to all,

Chris

Hi Chris, i'm pleased to see and hear that you are sane (well, almost). I was getting worried about you :)
I quite like this, i think the reflection makes it very attractive. Thanks for your recent comments, i'm having a little trouble with dust in the D70, maybe it's a good sign because it shows i'm pushing it a little. That's what they are for :)
Take care and best wishes
Neil

Such a tranquil scene, it's a wonder you get anything done at all. Just sit and relax and watch the world go by. Don.

Hi Chris, Stunning shot. I'm not quite sure what image you refer to, though. Must have missed one...) The green tones, and the pink flamengo's create an excellent contrast. A breathtaking piece of paradise.... Very well captured...

Why is it that everytime an image *deserves* a 7 it's marked comments only?

Cheers,

Hugo

Nicely done. A sytle which to me is becoming recognizable. You sure have some beautiful subject matter. The famingos I see in the zoo here all are moulting and look half dead. standing in mud with a cement background. never knew they could be so pretty.

Nice to have the flamingoes in context. Very green, very British... makes them look, if anything, even more exotic. Like the aspect ratio of this one. (Well I would, wouldn't I!)

Thank you :-)))))))
