The contortionist in the rain

The contortionist in the rain

American Flamingo preens itself in the artificial rain in the wetland free-flight room at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, PA on Sunday 8-23-2009. Another shot where using the Gary Fong Universal LightSphere flash diffuser on my Nikon SB800 flash really worked its magic I used the half cloud diffuser cup with the clear diffuser dome on this.

Happy feathery Flamingo Friday everyone.
