Flamingos spitting water ( Phoenicopterus ruber) - View larger

I was observing these flamingos at sunset against the light, they were

spitting water with a quick movement of the neck and spraying a lot of

water droplets that were arranged in the air signaling the movement

done by their head . Thank you for your comments

Hello Giangiorgio. The backlight is what gives magic to this picture, as it delineates the flamingos and shines the water drops that contrast very well with the dark background. Beautiful!!!

Kind Regards,

Rosario.

Beautiful colors and contrast against the dark background. Great capture.

Regards, Wobby. (Any idea why they do this "ritual"?)

Your flamingo pictures are just great. This one is no exception.

Amazing in every way. Great colour and mood. Regards, Lawrence

It's hard to improve on your splendid images but this is one of your best.  Superb photography and striking content.... Mike

Ottima luce,  il punto di forza sono le pennellate create dalle gocce d'acqua, bellissimo scatto.

Ciao

The lighting, the action and the scene are great.  Beautiful!

Marvelous shot. Great timing! Very dynamic lighting! Well done (as usual!)

Una splendida e difficilissima foto, complimentissimi!!!

These birds fascinate me so much.!! so beautifully captured Giangiorgio!! Love this time of day with the glow on the water that is so close to the color of the birds!
