Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikkor 12-200mm f/ 3.5-5.6 VR at 50mm
Exposure: 1/400 sec at f/ 5-6, ISO 500

Edited with Lightroom 4.0 for B&W conversion, cropping, levels adjustment and selective dodging and sharpening.

Photo taken at Roger Williams Zoo in Rhode Island, Sep-2010. The image of the flamingo in the bucket, as if that was all it had left, gave me the idea to play with the concept of the economy in dire straits. I used B&W to reinforce the drama.
