Waterwalkers! Very nice!

Excellent shot, Giangiorgio! Beautiful frame uniting scene of take-off and rest. A delightful composition, birds poses, light and shadows, amazing colors, textures, splashes ... Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Grazie mille Philip Carlo , I am glad you liked it

Tanks a lot Tatiana for your generous appreciated comment

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

a wonderful morning action shot of these flamingos. I like the 'layers' in this photo from front to back and how they are marked by shapes and colors. Little egrets aren't exactly rare where you shot this either :) Kind regards, Vincent

Thanks Vincent for your beautiful comment, In in this period the lagoons of Cagliari are rich in bird life, but it is very difficult to get closer, only with the powerful telephoto lens I can take these pictures

una luce bella...e uno bello scatto...ciao caro amico

Grazie mille Mehmet per il tuo bel commento

Superb shot!

Thanks a lot Warren

Great scene well lit! PDE

Grazie mille Pierre

This marshy area in the south of Sardinia is just wonderful!! I've been to the island also, but it was just for one night. I used to work in La Maddalena many decades ago, but never had a chance to see much there (always working). I can guess you know what I worked ~ ciao!

Thanks Tony for your beautiful comment. At La Maddalena many tens of years ago there was the basis of American nuclear submarines, it is likely that you have worked there, It is a pity that you have not visited our beautiful island
