Nice colours, eye contact and pose. The ruffled feathers add to the composition. I think some more space on the top and bottom, to make it a more vertical framing would enhance the composition further. Look forward to more.

Reducing the saturation will be better. I wish you were closer to the action. That would have given you more details on the birds. How many flamingoes were there? Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the feedback. I have not increased the saturation by much, these are pretty much the actual colors. There were quite a few flamingos in the area, which was pretty big, over a 100 maybe.

Its the season of the flamingoes. Nice image Anshul. Flamingoes have started arriving in large numbers in Airoli creek in mumbai also. Thanks for sharing.

The colours will appear saturated if you also increase the contrast. The background ie. in this case the waters have become dark and deep blue. That is another clear cut indication. You can also look at the whites and see if the white is indeed white or has become a bit pink. It is important to get the colours right in case of nature photography. Good to know that there were over 100 flamingoes.

I get your point about colors in nature photography. I am struggling with this aspect in PP, I think I will get better with experience and guidance. Thank you.
