Flamingo sleeping while standing

*UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for the kind words and the DD. This was probably one of my best photos of 2011. It got featured on the frontpage or Utata.org for over a week as well. Again, thanks to everyone for the comments and favs!

I absolutely love this capture. I find the form of the flamingo to be very beautiful, and the black & white gives this picture an elegant touch. Flamingos Do Sleep by *toribio ( Suggested by ~nikki-ns and Featured by `trevg )

This is truly an excellent photograph. I can't imagine how you would have got so close to a flamingo without awakening it... perhaps a very powerful lens... =]
Absolutely amazing form study... You have a keen eye to identifying the beauty of God's Creation... Amazing effort... brought you amazing results keep it up... and follow on this type of photography in order to develop your style... if you get the opportunity. It was interesting to look at this for a few minutes to try and figure out what i was looking at... the black and white gives your picture a lot of character... Great Art! =]

Wow! It has been over a week since I last logged on. When I did I was like why is there over a 1000 people commenting on my photo? Then I see that it got a DD.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I never imagined it would the response it has.

Beautiful shot. And so unexpected to shoot it in black and white rather than color, given the subject. Kudos.
