Flamingo, landing braking - (Phoenicopterus ruber)

Flamingo, landing braking - (Phoenicopterus ruber) . I photographed just before sunrise, this flamingo in the landing phase, with a long braking. The shot was made from the top of a hill overlooking the Cagliari lagoon at a distance of about 1 km, with Nikon d850, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f / 5.6, 1 / 1600sec, ISO 900. Thanks for your comments

Giangiorgio, the image's simplicity already has been addressed to my satisfaction, so I need not repeat it. What you captured so artistically in the flaming's landing demonstrates a simple concept of physics - drag. As is one of the hallmarks your work exemplifies, the contrast in both color and tonality is bold to the point that a viewer can't help but to notice it. - - My best always, michael - - - Ciao!

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

your favorite bird in golden hour backlight; I knew immediately this image was made by you when I saw the thumbnail. It is so simple, yet so effective. No more elements are needed to tell the story of this glorious dawn. Kind regards, Vincent
