Flamingo Portrait (Captive)

Nikon D1h, 80-200 f/2.8 AF-S, TC-20e, Incident Reading, f/8, 1/640, ISO 200, Gitzo Monopod.

I like making exagerated landscape images. I'm not sure of the specific appeal but I think it even works on occasions when more verticle shots are required. In this case, I wanted to crop up a lot of un-needed space at the top which included the top of this bird's cranium. I certainly didn't increase the saturation of this image. If anything, I reduced the saturation to avoid blowing out the reds.
