                                                                                     Zoo photography, 

                                                                                       ah yes, zoo photography.   

You are working under difficult conditions. As we know the people at the zoo don’t open until mid day and close before there is any decent light.  This lighting is not bad for mid day.  This picture has fairly good detail in the shadows but is starting to burn out on the backs of the birds. 

Let me start by saying I have a hang up.  I am a hard one to please when it comes to animals, children and rainbows.  In other words I like exciting, imaginative and clever photography.  Cute does not do it for me when it comes to subject matter. 

I think you are trying to take in to much information with this shot.  This image needs a stronger graphic element and a more focused subject.  I would recommend using a long lens and getting in tight on the details of the flamingos.  Interpret the subject don’t record it. Try a number of shots and edit.  One of the most important tasks of photography is editing.
