Hello Smitha,
First of all, wish you and Anil a very Happy New Year!
Secondly, it is a pleasant surprise to see you resurrected on TN.Hope you continue making frequent appearances though I myself am quite irregular now for the past six months or so.
Your picture of the Greater Flamingo is a beauty.
The action shot is full of life and vitality; I particularly like the water dispersal as the bird gets ready to take off. It has been well captured.
Thanks and take care.

A Happy New Year to you, Anil and your family Smitha!
I wish you all health and hapiiness for 2010!
This a fine way to mark the occasion, a great shot of a Greater Flamingo taking off and showing well with fine sharpness and colours against the contrasting OOF natural BG.
Let us hope that we, our children and grand-children can continue enjoy such sights and that this new year marks th start towards preserving the biodiversity of our planet.
With best wishes,
Ivan

Hi Smitha

It sure is nice to see a posting from you again. You have done a great job to capture
this runner with such lovely fine details. The f/8 aperture ensured the whole range of
the Greater Flamingo is sharp as can be, from its beak to the tip of its wings and also
down to its toes. The very fast shutter speed at 1/4000 of a second freeze-framed the
splashing water in mid air. Actually the BG also worked out wonderfully with the row
of dark trees on the bank which made the bird stand out well in the frame. Captured
on 25 December you should definitely thank Santa for such a wonderful gift.

Thanks for the kind New Years message and to you, Anil, your lovely two daughters,
and all your loved ones I also wish a wonderful, healthy, and a prosperous 2010.

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot
