Its good to see that even in the month of May so many flamingos are still present there. Did you get a chance to visit the interpretation center in Airoli? Thanks for sharing.

When was this photographed? Looks like a large crop. Did you change the white balance during post processing? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

This was taken on 1st May, didnt crop much but converted the aspect ratio to 16:10, with mild cropping, resulting in 10% reduction in overall frame size
Had modified the White balance to reduce Yellow-ish ness in the frame
Mrudul: Couldnt visit Interpretation centre at Airoli, rather I came to know about it after you mentioned about it.

Why change the aspect ratio? That distorts proportions.

[Prajwal J Ullal]

Seemed wide aspect would give justice to the frame
