Flamingos and avocets

These flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber) were photographed in the warm light of sunset as they walk among the avocets (Recurvirostra avosetta). Nikon D500, Sigma supertele 300-800 mm f, 5.6, 1/2500 sec, ISO 250. Thanks for your comments

Great photo that transmits some nice and relaxing mood as well, ciao Sandor

A real masterpiece we have here, Giangiorgio! Complimenti! PDE

Grazie mille Pierre for your generous comment

Very appealing composition and subject. Cheers, -Clayton

Many thanks Clayton for your visit and apppreciated comment

Giangiorgio, because I have to leave my house soon, I chose this image to review. Both images reflect your love of nature and your artistry in photographing it. The photograph gives viewers a variety of wading birds. Their relative size is a strong element as is their respective colors. What initially pulled me in, though, was the lone avocet with its wings spread, as if it is about to launch itself into the air. - - My best always, michael - - Ciao!

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

a wonderful composition that features two species of birds with very unusual beaks, one big, bulky and pointed downward, the other very pointed and curved upwards. The proportions in this image are very much to my liking, as well as the deep colors. Very well done, GG!

Thank you very much Michael for your generous comments and constant support

Thanks Vincent for the interesting observation, in fact the curvature of the beak reveals their way of eating, the avocet furrows with the beak the surface of the water, the flamingo filters with the beak the Artemia salina and algae on the muddy bottom

Very nice. 2 of my favorite subjects caught in one - beautiful - capture. Thanks for sharing, Regards, Wobby.

Thanks a lot Wobby for your visit and beautiful comment, glad you liked it
