Description

Preening Flamingo: Before/After:

Pink flamingo at a local zoo. It had just finished a light rain and the bird was preening itself. I love flamingos, not only for the color, but because they are generally kept outside in enclosures that are very open. This allows us to get very close to the animal and an telephoto lens really brings you right up to the gorgeous birds.

The background I thought was somewhat distracting so I darkened it considerably. Also I accentuated the highlights and shadows on the bird's feathers with an overlay mask, making them pop.
