Wow, this is some fancy "cross-breeding," Judy. Nice processing work - I'm very impressed.

@Viewfinder: Thanks, Glenn; I was lucky to have two birds in similar positions. :D

This is more gorgeous than silly.
But wait, am I not aware of something or have I been outside in the Florida heat too long today. Please fill me in.
I really like this, Judy.

@Barbara: Hee, hee ... a composite of a flamingo and a white pelican from Homosassa. :D
susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
saw this first on fb......wondered if the pelican mated with a flamingo....now the whole thing makes sense....although doesn't really look like a pelican's neck!!

@susan: The lower part IS a flamingo and the upper part of the neck belongs to that white pely ... :D
Lambspun from Madison, Maine, United States
Judy ...this is very impressive. Not silly at all! The bird itself is beautiful and then looking down at it standing amongst leaves and water ......gorgeous. The colors are brilliant. The contrast in colors are amazing. This is truly very beautiful! 5 stars beautiful!

@Lambspun: The silly part is that it's two birds, meshed at the neck.
The flamingo's body with the white pelican's neck just meshed too well to ignore if for a silly shot! :D
Scott F. Schilling from San Martin, United States
Awesome shot and great color and reflections!

@Scott F. Schilling: I hope you realized it was a composite of a flaming and a white pelican.
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
Yes, yes, yes! I saw it on Facebook! The silly bird who believes IT is a FLOWER! (A rose, maybe...) Let's call it ROSA! And IT is doing a gig or so it looks to me!

@Japanalia: I'm glad you liked your 'flower' of birds ... a flamingo and white pelican combined. xx
