I present here two images of flamingos in landing, made in sequence at

the dawn from the top of an hill overlooking the lagoon of Cagliari at

about 1 km distance. Which of the two do you prefer? Thanks for your

comments

No particular reason but I like this one best.  Maybe because of the symmetry of the ripples.  Both are excellent shots... Mike

Beautiful...the water looks great, that golden tone. Does the long shooting distance affect the tone somehow or is it just the location and the right time which makes it so special?

I definitely prefer this one, the birds appear to be more synchronised in their movement and the ripples also bring it to life!

Beautifully done!

Good morning Giangiorgio,

Beautiful!! From the two postings, this is my favourite due to the synchronized movement in the (golden) water. Very nice indeed. Congrats and regards, Wobby.

Caro Giangiorgio, this image, like many of yours in the lagoon is spectacular; here perfection of the elements, situation of birds, it seems as if they had been arranged in a Zen garden.

Everything in its most suitable place, gathered all in a subtle and delicate harmony that nothing will break. Therefore, the best to do is what we usually make when we take off our shoes and sat down barefoot, looking in silence the gravel and the whole zen graden.

Needless to say more.

Congrats, con cariño, Laura.
