Photo Hunt : Fake 07/07/07

Today’s photo hunt is all about fake. These are some fake flamingos that reside at my In-Laws.

Welcome fellow Photo-Hunters. I have a great contest that may be of interest to you. It is called Win an XShot from BenSpark.

    Amazing photo and a perfect choice for this week’s theme. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Drew says:

    Thanks Shabem, I appreciate the visit, hope you participate in my July contest.

  3. wow, that is really beautiful!! I love the pinkness of that flamingo!! Great shot.

  4. Renee says:

    What a great shot! Love the composition and the DOF, very sharp image.

    Nice choice for the hunt.

  5. Criz Lai says:

    Wow..this angle of shooting is real nice. I love the colors too. Well done. Happy 070707 and a Happy Weekend :) http://crizlai.blogspot.com/2007/07/photo-hunters-fake.html

  6. Pink Flamingos always remind me of scavenger hunts, well fake ones anyway, nice shot.

  7. Drew says:

    Hey there Miles, Glad you liked the flamingo. It really jumped out at me.

  8. Drew says:

    Renee, thank you. I used my telephoto lens very close to the head of the flamingo to achieve that DOF look.It certainly did make the flamingo pop. I was searching for geckos around the house when I shot this image.

  9. Drew says:

    Hey there Criz, thank you for the comments. Glad you liked the photo. I hope you enter my July Contest.

  10. Drew says:

    Hey Rand,
    Yes, flamingos are certainly fodder for scavenger hunts online as well as off. No need to scavenge for anything to enter my July contest.

  11. And I thought pink flamingos were extinct. Great photo there.

  12. Drew says:

    I know that the lawn species is going very strong. :-) Thanks for the comment.

  13. MamaBearJune says:

    Very nice close up!

  14. I have to say that this is a great picture. It is amazing how something fake can look so beautiful. At first glance I thought this was real.

  15. Drew says:

    Thanks MamaBear. I think that it worked better than a standard shot.

  16. Drew says:

    Thanks Mark, glad you liked the photo and thanks for the comment.

  17. Vader's Mom says:

    I love it! Perfect photo for the theme.

  18. Drew says:

    Thanks Vader’s Mom. I was happy that my in-laws had them so I could take a photo.

  19. meeyauw says:

    I love pink flamingos (who knows why?) and am thinking of putting one or two in the woods. A bit incongruous perhaps?

  20. MommyBa says:

    Oh that’s cute :) Thanks for sharing!

    Hey MommyBa,

  23. I love, love, love this photo!! It’s pink and represents the most wonderful plastic flamingo well! lol! How can anyone not love the plastic pink flamingoes???

  24. Raesmom says:

    Nice photo. Wouldn’t mind a few pink flamingos on our yard.

  25. Drew says:

    Jenny,
    I am very glad that you love the photo. Such an enthusiastic response.

  26. Drew says:

    Raesmom, I should get some for mine too.

  27. Angie says:

    The framing on this is so perfect. I was just scrolling the page and this one stopped me cold.

  28. Drew says:

    Thank you very much Angie, I was happy with how this turned out as well.
