WOnderful perspective, the eye level image makes it soothing to the eye

The take off is very nicely captured
Lovely light too.

Hi Viv, great low perspective, and love the different take off poses. Lovely colours throughout. Im finding the 'runway' a touch too central, so I would crop up from the bottom a little.

I googled this location - a bit far for a day trip, unless one left at 2.00am.

Great action in this image. I really like the splash behind the LH bird & the different attitudes of the flamingos. Do you have more room on the right? What is around the RH bird's neck?

[Robert Holguin]

Terrific shot.
Love the take off poses on both birds, excellent shooting angle, and exopsed very well.
I personally like the comp as is.
Well done.

Great action, detail, low angle and vibrant colors. Getting multiple subjects in focus is difficult; well done. I would take some off the bottom. To my eye, this gives the impression of more lead room on the right.

Well captured Vivaldo - great action and works well in the pano crop.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Thanks everyone for comments and suggestions. I will have a look at croping slightly off the bottom. Andrew the object around the flamingo's neck is weed, most problerly picked up in the dam while feeding.

Everything about this make it a great photo.

Oh boy...what a shot. low angle, the poses, parallel to sensor, the splash...awesome. So many things to like.

[Marina Scarr]

Killer image. Love the water splash and the wings and legs going against one another. I would take some off of the bottom. I feel as though all of that empty space detracts from your ever-so-important subjects.

Great job Vivaldo. Love the take off and two makes it twice as nice. Techs look good too.. Well done
