Find the great grebe - (Red necked grebe)

Find the great grebe - (Red necked grebe) - (Podiceps cristatus) - I photographed this great grebe that camouflaged itself with the flamingos intent on looking for food on the bottom of the Cagliari lagoon. Nikon d500, Sigma Sport 150-600mm, f / 13, 1/1250 sec, ISO 360. Thanks for your comments

Very funny capture :) , Giangiorgio! Best, Tina

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

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

at first I thought the grebe was swimming in between the flamingos, but on closer inspection it's passing them by. As Tina said, this has a funny appearance. It may be (as always) looking for food, but it's not likely it will find much when the flamingos are done. Beautiful colors, excellent DoF and shot at the right moment, something you have a knack for. I would crop off a little from the top if this were my photo. Kind regards, Vincent

Grazie mille Vincent for your nice comment based on thorough exploration and for your compliments and suggestion on the correction to be made , ciao Giangiorgio

So far most original shot of birds, Giangiorgio! Looks almost unreal or like a montage! Great technical qulity and aesthetic value! Complimenti, maestro! Ciao! PDE

Grazie mille Pierre, for your appreciated comment and continuous support, ciao Giangiorgio

Excellent, as usual- at first thought these were sharks, from the thumbnail --guess they haven't invaded your lagoon yet !

Gregory and Verena many thanks for your visit and for your imaginative comment, luckily there are no sharks in our lagoons, ciao Giangiorgio

I could only see the flamingos at first glance! Great Capture.

Kamala I'm glad you spotted it, many thanks for your visit and appreciation for this photo, ciao Giangiorgio
