I had never seen flamingos fly before.

Re: Flamingos in Flight
Nice capture Diane! It does look as if the sharpening has been a bit overdone,
as the flamingo's seem to have some artifacts around their bodies. Have you tried
backing down the sharpening a bit, then adding a bit of Luminance to smooth it
all out?

Re: Flamingos in Flight
I think part of this slight problem has been caused by shooting against a bright sky. But still impressive.

Re: Flamingos in Flight
Your right Mike I can see that I was heavy handed with the sharpening. Here is the original.

Re: Flamingos in Flight
I too thought the fact that they fly was a myth along with bringing babies to mommies when kids are "born" Naw... you just about never see them flying like this, only short hops from one part of the lake to another!
