Flamingos- Take off- (Phoenicopterus roseus). I photographed these flamingos taking off, at the first golden light of dawn, from the top of a hill overlooking the lagoon of Cagliari. Nikon D300s, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f / 5.6, 1/2500 sec, ISO 200. Thanks for your comments

Delightful golden image, Giangiorgio! Magnificent composition created by birds, their footprints on the water, splashes ... plus reflections. I'm wondering if flamingos always move in parallel lines when taking off? Or is this a performance for you? Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Giangiorgio, you've started the new year with a bang. This image is another that shows your fascination with flamingos and shooting them as silhouettes, and is just as spectacular as the others. The hints of highlights are quite dynamic. Overall, this is a masterpiece in every respect. - - My best always and sincere wishes for a spectacular new year, michael - - Ciao!

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

what a way to start off the new photography year! We've had a terrible year and I sincerely hope this one will be better. I really like the frozen action of the flamingos taking off and the golden glow of early morning. Kind regards, Vincent

...BEAUTIFUL capture....everything about it! The color, the backlit lighting and the freezing of the movement....a once in a lifetime photo image. (But one thing for my own sanity....was this same photo submitted in the past? I feel like I've seen it before..."deja vu all over")

Many thanks Tom for your visit and for your interesting comment and observations. Over the years I have taken many photos at sunrise from the same location, many photos as you can see in the gallery are similar for the subject and the light, ciao Giangiorgio

Another golden hour masterpiece, Giangiorgio! This imagery - subject, golden light, exposure - is a signature look of yours, some of the best I've seen anywhere. Bravo!
