very elegant, shame you did not get the whole reflection in the water.
The only thing I don't like is that it is to central in the frame.
C&C welcome.

I find the feathers a little distracting, especially the one by the bird's beak. Any chance of cloning them out? The image also looks a bit "muddy", but then I am viewing it on an uncalibrated work monitor, so I'll have another look when I get home.

I also agree about the whole reflection not being in the shot.

The bird is very nice, nice colour and detail. The water is less nice, the colour is a bit yuck .

+1 on cloning out the feather by the beak too.

No, I didn't mean that the water looks muddy - that's a given without me saying it! I meant that the whole image looked a bit dull - probably not helped by the water, but I think the flamingo lacks a bit of punch.

It doesn't really stand out to me, that's what I was trying to say!
