A Perfect World

This is a study of a flamingo resting on one leg, something flamingoes love to do.  I wanted to get the colors just right, but seeing as this is just a study, I stopped short of my objective.  I have enough to go on, though, if I want to try this again on panel.

Not my usual subject matter, but I've been thinking a lot about birds lately.  There are so many exotic species in the world, and this one, an American flamingo, is among my favorites.
