    Default Bird's-eye view over Flamingoland

    I hardly post in the landscape forum, but here is a try again. I took this photo today while flying at 1500m above see level. The reason for the title is all the flamingos that live in the cienaga around the village. Comments are welcome.

    1DX
    24-70mm

    Hi Lorant, a nice scenic view of the land below and I like the light streaming down through the clouds as well. Depending on your preferences for cloning, I think I would be inclined to clone out the two boats. I do see a little curvature to the horizon line, which I think actually works well for this image. Looking forward to seeing more images!

    Very effective composition here, Lorant! I don't mind the two boats at all. The color of the sea is beautiful, I can only start to imagine how the scene looks like with the flamingoes!

    Thank you guys for the comments.
    I was waiting to have the boats in the image...especially the right side one getting to the harbor. It is a fisherman's village and I feel that the boats are active part of the landscape. I have similar shots without the boats though and I will share some. Thanks again.

    Hi Lorant

    The boats don't bother me so much either, however the rays of sun I find distracting. Andrew and I agree on the curvature of the earth however, works for me too.. Funny how some see somethings as a positive and others as a negative... Its a village I would love to visit..
