There is always one in the crowd - a photo on Flickriver

            This started out as a not-so-interesting image with exposure values higher and lower than my camera could record in one shot.  I saw the one flamingo in the image that was flapping its wings and the light came on in my head.  I converted the image to a grungy, black and white scene and adjusted the extreme highlights and shadows enough to keep some detail in the entire image.  I used selective color to draw the eye to the pink dancer who was close to the rule of thirds.  The title came to me once the image was complete.
