Flamingo Heart

[Khaos]

I caught the guy in the foreground just at the time the one in the background was in the right place to make a heart shape.

Nice shots Khaos. I like the first but whish the Aperture was a bit larger to get both in focus.

I have to get to the zoo one of these days.

Thanks.

I would of loved to use a smaller aperture to get both in focus, but I was in a round pavillion style area and these were part of a trained flamingo show and it was raining, and these guys were moving around a lot. To eliminate blur with a faster shutter and still get detail, a 2.8 AV was what I used along with a 400 ISO.

I probably should of tried an 800 and seen if I could of bumped the aperture down to 4, but hindsight is my friend.:D

Thanks.

Well with those variables it really is a wonderful shot. I never would have guessed it was raining.

Thank you Ben. Machine gun shooting will make sure you'll get something, right? For me it means a lot of deleted pics, and every 100 or so I get one of these.:D

Oh I love this. I a sucker for these birds. They are SO bizarre and unlikely.
Great composition and great capture. Great sharpness and great bright delicate colors. If it were mine, I'd try to sell to a greeting card company for Valentine Day cards. I'll bet you can.
