Take-off at sunset - (Phoenicopterus roseus)

Take-off at sunset - (Phoenicopterus roseus) - I photographed these flamingos at sunset with the grazing light that highlighted the tracks on the water. Nikon D850, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f / 5.6, 1/6400 sec, ISO 400. Thanks for your comments

Delightful takeoff at sunset, Giangiorgio! Beautifully captured blue background with an interference pattern, dark birds silhouettes and golden footprints and splashes! I like it! Bravo, Master! Sincerely, Tatiana

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

although I wouldn't call this image minimalistic, I noticed that it consists of only a few elements, which is to me a mark of greatness when done in such an outstanding way! There are only the lagoon's blue water, the fiery reflections that form such an excellent contrast and the silhouettes of the flamingos in various stages of rest or activity. The composition is compelling. A masterpiece! Into my favorites! Kind regards, Vincent
