Their head movements are simply awesome. This is the mating season, and the image shows 2 males that are having a little love heart discussion.
The Greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) is the emblematic bird of the French Camargue region. This is the only region of France where these birds nest and one of the only places in the world where the flamingo lay back every year since 1969. On "Pond Fangassier " more than 10,000 Flamingos come to reproduce. These gregarious birds live in group in the wet zones. This large web-footed bird, prefers the large expanses of shallow salt water or brackish marshes and ponds, what explains its strong presence in the Camargue. These areas allow them to find their food, essentially constituted by shellfishes and seaweeds. Their beak which contains a system of comb, allows them to filter the water to retain the nourishing elements (shrimp artémia). The color of flamingos comes from their food rich in beta carotene. The young flamingos, are lightly colored.

One of the most spectacular sights of Kakadu National Park is the stunning Anbangbang Billabong. This large billabong is home to hundreds of waterbirds & apparently a few Crocodiles as well. There were quite a few Comb-crested Jacana on the billabong, including several with young. They would dart about the lilies & quickly change directions with a bit of a flap & splash!

In the order beds of the Jardin des Plantes, Paris - the first time I have seen these lovely little flowers in cultivation.
Its native range is Europe, Macaronesia to NW. India - it is not native to the British Isles, where it is an increasingly rare arable weed.
Also known as Shepherd's Needles (Scandix pecten-veneris)
A lovely iris comb beside a lovely maple leaf comb. I originally left the maple behind in the store, thinking I had spent enough money and didn't need another comb. Then I dreamed about the maple comb that night (yeah, I dream about kanzashi...) and decided to go look for it the next morning. It was right where I left it, so I bought it.
Murex pecten or the Venus Comb Shell is a wonder of the ocean. It's hard to believe how a sea snail can create such an amazing structure to protect it self, with such intricate design. This is the smaller of my 2 examples of this shell, which I haven't shot before , but although it is smaller, it is equally intriguing.

Theridiidae Checklist: Comb-Footed Spiders
Comb-footed spiders from the family Theridiidae Sundevall, 1833 are small spiders, but it is one of the largest family of spiders living in tree canopies. The “comb”, or serrated bristles on tarsi IV gives the spiders in this family its common name. While some theridiids construct three-dimensional webs or cob webs, several genera do not build webs at all.

Time to spruce up a bit!
My 9th entry for the ABS Builder Challenge Season 1 Finale.
The brush uses a net that allows the bristles to move around a bit, so moving one bristle affects other bristles. The chord for the hair dryer is a soccer goalie control piece. All of the teeth of the comb are well attached to the frame.
Set up the tripod to capture this azalea bush indoors with the soft lighting at night. This triptych show that capture at f/4 in the low light, then capturing at f/16 to get a greater depth of field on the close in flowers, then combining the two in photoshop with layers to have the f/16 close in flowers in detail over the farther f/4 flowers with the better bokeh.
Interestingly the bush flowers here are red, as I saw them with our indoor lighting from the living room. This morning under window lighting, they are dark pink / magenta color. Our brain at work with the white balance :)
