Greater Flamingo

I love these flamingo shots, I posted the group flying and feeding in early morning light. Here's one of the flamingos out for a stroll. I was wondering if anyone feels I should clone out the water drop by the shoreline. Anyway, comments and crits welcome.

Abie, the water drop is one of the things that make this image special. The foot going through the water is great too.

I say leave the water drop. It adds a nice touch to the image.

Stunning shot. I would leave the drop there. Nice that you got him separated from the group.

Beautiful shot of a beautiful bird. It's interesting to see how much more orange this Greater Flamingo is than its African counterparts.

Please tell us where and when this was taken.

Leave that drop in! It adds life and interest.

I photographed these flamingos from a double klepper ocean kayak. The flock was in Garfield Bight in Everglades NP, there is a campsite at Alligator Creek (about a 7mi paddle from the marina at flamingo) that allowed great access.

Thanks Abie. That's doing wildlife photography the way it should be done. Good job!
