Preening Flamingo
I usually keep flamingos as full color photos because of the striking pink color. But the mood of this picture was better captured in black and white as the flamingo Preen it feathers while keeping an eye out for any danger.
Post processing notes:
I used the second black and white preset in Photo Raw. I then cropped the photo and increased the structure to really bring out the texture of the feathers and the water.Exif information:
