Judges' comments:
Beautiful color; a little busy--birds in the background are distracting; question hand of man
Maker's notes:

This is a pair of Flamingo's in a Florida nature preserve. The pair in the same position with the water ringlets around there beak caught my attention. It was overcast so I used an ISO-400 setting, to help increase shutter speed, since I was shooting in Program mode and hand held. Reducing the resolution for upload has lost some of the texture feel of the birds feathers. The computer was used to slightly brighten the photo and for a minimal crop.
