I've never taken a good shot of the flamingo at the Adelaide Zoo so i'm fairly happy with these, but I'm wondering if they are a bit much. I have crushed the blacks to fix the background, but that means I loose parts of the wings and beak. Thoughts?



The second image embedded here is a png as the jpeg's background went a bit strange (follow the link to see the jpeg).

The birds look suspended on air. I think you
possibly overdid th black background.

Fair enough.

You can't really tone it back without getting the horrible green water and floating crud.

Thanks

I don't mind these, losing the beak is a bit of a showstopper, however possibly just dialling back the black to leave just a fraction of detail may help.

taking them on face value and as presented without any background knowledge my first thought was 'nioce' and for me thats all that really matters. I really love that subtle reflection, had me leaning in for more
