Flamingo, San Diego Zoo, San Diego, California, 2010

There were dozens of vividly colored flamingoes on display at this zoo. Instead of photographing them en masse, I instead selected one that was busily preening its feathers. In doing so, it abstracts itself, and allows me to express the beauty of its color and the flow of its form.

Thanks, Mo -- the interplay of light, color, texture, form, and shape tells the story here.

Light AND color actually.

And as you remember, the light was flat at this point. Yet it gives the image a sheen to its textures and colors.

The light in this image really makes it sing.
