flamingos -Landing sequence (Phoenicopterus ruber)

Flamingos - Landing sequence - (Phoenicopterus ruber ) The flamingos were photographed at sunrise from the top of an ill in front of the lagune of Cagliari , shooting distance about 1Km ( 0,62 mile) Nikon D500, Sigma Supertelephoto 300-800mm at 800mm.f/7,1, 1/1000sec, ISO 180. Thanks for your comments

A very special image, Ginagiorgio. Congrats!

Grazie mille GB

Giangiorgio, I chose this image out of the two you recently posted primarily because of its greater complexity. (By no means does this mean that it's better than the other.) What I find most fascinating about it is the possibility that it might have been the result of using time-lapse to capture the landing of a single bird. There's a contrast between the silhouetted birds plus their shadows and the hints of white water as they enter the golden area of water, which is sharply detailed. Out standing composition and perspective! - - Regards, michael

Thanks a lot Philip Carlo for your appreciated comment

I'm glad to see your amazing flamingo photos again, Giangiorgio! Delightful composition and colors. An incredibly beautiful sequence of poses illustrating the details of the landing. This image seemed funny to me. The position of the bird's legs and wings in the middle of the landing process (5 poses) shows the cancan dance poses. You are like Toulouse Lautrec! Congratulations! Sincerely, Tatiana

Superb image!! The artistry of capturing the graceful landing of the birds, the silhouette effect presentation, the copper tone of the water and its texture are masterfully done!! It just doesn't get any better!!! Bravissimo!!

Bird-photography transformed into ART. Congratulations, beautiful work. Regards Wobby

Grazie per i tuoi commenti sulle mie foto. Ho molto ammirato alcune delle tue foto e in particolare questa. Mi piacerebbe sapere se l'hai realizzata con un'esposizione multipla o con un layer stacking di diverse esposizioni in Photoshop. Grazie

Grazie Roberto per il tuo bel commento. si tratta di una serie di fotografie scattate a raffica e poi allineate in Photoshop su diversi livelli poi sommati insieme con la funzione scurisci
