Excellent shot Al! The flamingo has beautiful colors and a terrific pose, and it is really nicely framed by the plants in the background.

Thanks Guys, It was a very photogenic flamingo! I've had problems before with taking a good picture of them and other pink birds in full sun, but this one was taken on an over cast day and just as it was starting to rain. I think it really helped keep the pinks popping .
