Flamingo before sunset

[Lorant Voros]

I photographed this flamingo at Laguna Rosada in Yucatan right before sunset. Low light and clean water. I removed some dry wood pieces and dirt from the upper BG.

Very elegant sir. The pose, motion, and foraging behavior are beautifully captured here.
An image to ponder the beauty of "form" for sure...

A very pleasing image!

I am sure the reflections helps but the pose emphasizes the length of the neck of the flamingo. I love the way his head is in the water with just his eye showing. Calm water and colors add a lot to the photo also. Great composition.

I like the way the bird is looking for its food. The nice pink colour also makes this one very appealing.

Hi Lorant, sweet light, and I love the colour of the flamingo. An unusual feeding pose, as they normally drop their heads straight down, so thats another plus in the image. Lovely calm water, and your comp works well.

Fantastic soft light and love the Flamingo's pose and colours. Lovely calm water and reflection add nicely TFS.

Really nice reflection Lóránt. I particularly like the eye's position along the waterline. Great soft light!

[Melissa Groo]

Such a wonderful graphic quality to this work of art. The eye is my favorite part. Wonderful soft light, and really like your composition.

[Daniel Cadieux]

This is quite beautiful! Very strong image with lots of angles, lines, and curves. I like the colours too, and the good vertical comp. Super nicely done!

[Bill Dix]

A lovely image with great geometry, good light. And the eye does it.
