Flaming - os

Posted by Ravi (Singapore, Singapore) on 26 December 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

A couple of flamingos from the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore.

What very few people know about these exquisitely coloured and sharp featured birds is that they are born grey, but acquire the red colour due to a bacteria in their diet. Talk about letting your food get to you!

Thanks a lot for all your comments! Am still very much a student of the science of photography, and your observation, technical or otherwise, helps me get a better grip on it. So do feel free to opine...
