Flamingos são aves grandes, desengonçadas e barulhentas. Passam a maior parte do tempo interagindo com os outros indivíduos da sua espécie; contudo, são charmosas e possuem uma coloração belíssima! O bico delas é uma obra de arte, um destaque a mais para essa ave maravilhosa! Para saber mais, consulte:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamingo.

After an extremely exciting evening watching two leopards we visited a saline lake where flamingoes are known to congregate. We were not disappointed with about 40 present alongside loads of other birds including Cape teal and black-winged stilts. The birds in this photo are both lesser (the smaller bird) and greater flamingoes (the two larger birds)

Normally I like to let an image evolve over a week or so. "Start it on the Monday, post it on the Sunday" has become my usual routine. This process could consist of minutes per day or possibly hours depending on what I'm working on. I have absolutely no doubt that applying fresh eyes to my image on numerous occasions throughout the week allows me to take it far beyond what I could ever achieve in one sitting.
It also ensures I get regular darkroom practice which can't ever be a bad thing. I suspect it like a musical instrument, one session per week yields relatively slow progress but having a wee play every day sees you sprinting down the road at a much faster pace.
A discussion I always have during presentations... once you fully understand your camera, it is then practically impossible to continuously improve through that camera alone. Your photography at this point becomes more reliant on opportunity than skill. The darkroom however is one of the few tools which actually allow ongoing improvement, ongoing forever and ever and ever and ever. This is why I place so much emphasis on regular darkroom practice regardless of how my image actually turns out in the end.
Saying that... I've had an extremely busy week this week with no real time for processing, so I've opted for a much easier shot. Nothing more than good basic camera technique followed by a quick white balance change with some dodging/burning on top. There is no real skill to this image, all the beauty comes from Mother Nature showing off, something she is absolutely incredible at when she puts her mind to it.
