A bouquet of Carmines

[marc]

I quite like the 3D effect and framing on this one (apart from the lower cut tail tip), interested to know what others think?
Taken on the banks of the Luangwa River, Sth Luangwa Nat Park - Zambia.

Nikon D2Xs, 300 f/2.8 VR, ISO 400, f/2.8, 1/1000s@300.




C & C most welcome

Cheers

Marc, what a beautiful image, the Carmines themselves must take some credit for the arrangement. My ignorance shows here, I opened your post expecting to see a pile of Improvised Explosive Devices.

Just gorgeous, they have such beautiful colours, and their pyramid-like placement renders the shot quite unique

[zafra52]

Lovely composition and colours. Well done!

[firsty]

great shot
if you are worried about the cut off tail you could just clone out the very tip so it looks like it finishes inside the frame, I don't think anyone would be the wiser given the length of the tail

I saw this NSN but didn't realise it was from one of the DSLRUsers members. Nice shot, wouldn't worry too much about the cropped off tail - it's a great shot regardless.

Just purrfect!

Thanks Keith and everyone for the positive comments.
Was aware that it can be done, just that I should have composed better.
