 * Question: Based on File:Phoenicopterus roseus -Bhigwan, Maharashtra, India -four-8.jpg, shouldn't it be pinker? Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:27, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Colouration in flamingos is highly dependant on diet - see Flamingo. There's no way of saying what is the 'correct' pink when comparing disparate groups. --jjron (talk) 08:10, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose: Beautiful resolution, but the colours are rather dull for a bird popularly perceived as being pinker thank pink. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:38, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose Distracting background and horrible light reflections. Overall lighting isn't ideal either. If what above commenter has stated is true also it certainly doesn't seem appropriate. JFitch   (talk)  23:10, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per jjron I don't think not being pink is an argument. However I think the lighting isn't so good (backlit), and the shadow/highlight compensation isn't working so well. Also, the focus is on the body rather than the head/beak. JJ Harrison (talk) 11:03, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
