    Default I am finally home

    After a period of work away from home I got back to Yucatan. I went out to see the afternoon activities. I found a group of flamingos hanging around my favorite local spot. I got close and waited until this individual walks by the young mangrove plant...I think it adds to the interest and show where they live.

    Nice POV, excellent walking pose and the little shrub balances the composition really well, Lorant.

    Yep, that young mangrove really does add a lot. Well balanced to between that and the subject. Super nice low angle too, as well as the perfect head angle. Welcome back home!

    Lovely bird and image, Lorant. A bird I have on seen in zoos, although there have been some reports of sightings in south Florida. Thank you for sharing.

    It rings my bell Lorant, I like the composition and the pose. Also the colours and details are excellent.
