At dawn there is a magical moment , that does not last long, when the

oblique rays of the rising sun make sparkling with golden highlights

the traces of flamingos. The photo was taken from the top of a hill

overlooking the lagoon of Cagliari at the distance of about one kilometer

Great timing to get the full impact of the light on the bird's trail.Well done.....as usual.

It's always a joy to comeback to your portfolio and this minimalist-surrealist (I am referring to the lone flamingo and it's V-shaped trail on the water) series just made my day.


This picture get an extra attention due to blue-orange contrast which gives it a surreal feeling. This blue is specific to "blue hour" when the sun is gone and the fact that you found a few drops of sunshine makes it amazing.


Congratulations,
Daniel.
