The 6-headed flamingo:)

Cool idea and great rendering!

This is an AMAZING image!!!   Superb work...

Querido Giangiorgio,

Sinceramente esta imagen llama mucho la atención, es imposible no detenerse a mirarla.

Parece a primera vista uno de esos animales mitológicos que protagonizan tantas y tantas leyendas: los mostruos de varias cabezas, dragones con un solo ojo etc.

Sin embargo, la imagen es de nuestros días. Intuyo aparte de su originalidad, que posee un gran valor educativo, quiero decir, para enseñar a los más pequeños cómo funciona la naturaleza y el mundo animal. Todo lo que nos rodea.

Claro que... correríamos el riesgo de que piensen que verdaderamente hay flamencos de tantas cabezas.

La superposición es perfecta. Los detalles de las gotas congelados en el agua, en mayor o menor cantidad, según el momento, son bastante interesantes.

Me llama la atención la luz en el animal, es alta y uniforme, quizás del uso de un flash.

 

Es muy original y demuestra una gran técnica.

¡Felicidades por haber encontrado este fabuloso animal!

Con cariño, Laura

Interesting to watch how the position of the head and neck change as the sequence progresses, Giangiorgio. The fourth one up appears to loose the most water. A most interesting image. Best regards, Paul.

Thanks a lot Paul for your constant support , your comments are always welcome
