The battle begins ( Phoenicopterus ruber)

The battle begins with no holds barred . The adrenaline rush does

raise the the feathers and this denotes the state of excitement..

Thanks for your comments

Good timing, sad to see them fighting. Great birds. Saludos.

I am imagine how noisy they are,but so good looking with this feathers in wind.You have so many moments life of this birds and so well caught.

Nice shot and colors, it looks like somebody is getting checked out.

Great timing. If I didn't know better I'd think you posed the birds that way for effect!! Just an excellent shot!!

Great colors, nice composition. And my favorite theme. Beautiful flamingos. Thank you for sharing and best regards, Wobby.

Great shot, but 3 against 1 isn't fair ;-)…. Mike

Caro Giangiorgio, this image is the one that I like most of this series, the scene in which they've already started the battle; where they've lost their touch :-)

 

From time to time, they should be territorial and give meaning to their hormones.

On the contrary, it's in a sweet and gentle manner in which the background is getting away from the focus, which allows relaxing our vision.

 

Very good sharpness, love how you've managed the background, congratulations. Con cariño, Laura.

Quattro risate in compagnia!!! Bellissima come sempre.

Terrific behavioral shot.  These Flamingos are quite frilly.  

Some amazing action going on, Giangiorgio. Love the raised plumage and the feather pull by the one bird. Wonderful colors, light and composition. Best regards, Paul.

Paul and Dana I am glad you liked it. Raised feathers are the equivalent of piloerection following the adrenaline rush during the fight, ciao Giangiorgio
