Flamingo shaking off water ( Phoenicopterus roseus)

Flamingo shaking off water . I photographed at the first light of dawn this flamingo ( Phoenicopterus roseus) with a tense neck that shakes the water from its head. Nikon D 850, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f / 5,6, 1 / 1600sec, ISO 250. Thanks for your comments

The high shutter speed froze the moment, and the flamingo is nicely highlighted with the dark background, ciao Sandor

Amazing picture and moment, Giangiorgio! Funny expressive pose! It seems like this flamingo is interested in something and wants to see it more carefully. Delight! Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Grazie mille Sandor for your nice appreciated comment, ciao Giangiorgio

Tatiana I am glad you liked it, many thanks for your interesting observations and compliments, ciao Giangiorgio

Unique and most impressive photo! Looks as it was flash lit, but it isn't likely since a supertele lens you indicate was used! Strange! However, great shot we have here! Compolimenti, Giangiorgio! PDE

Nice lighting and capture.

Grazie mille Pierre for your generous comment, I'm glad you liked it. No flash, only the first low sun rays at dawn, ciao Giangiorgio

Chris many thanks for your visit and nice appreciated comment, ciao Giangiorgio

Great shot Giangiorgio!

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

a wonderful image that features the flamingo in an everyday act that makes your capture even greater; the very dark background is ideal for the subtle and detailed parts of the photo where the 'action' takes place, showing both the movement and the water drops that are the result of it. Deep colors, great composition, the right moment, well-exposed. Very well done! Kind regards, Vincent

What a great capture of the action, Giangiorgio.Excellent timing, colors, composition and presentation. Best regards, Paul.

Many thanks Patrick for your visit and kind comment, ciao Giangiorgio
