A pair of Caribbean Flamingos have been hanging around in Las Salinas de Cabo Rojo, southwest Puerto Rico. They are juveniles and are playful while their plumage is changing to adult.

Reason: forget the image
Rafael,
Nice action. The water droplets falling from the beaks adds to the impact. I agree with Axel regarding the clipped legs. Do you have the legs in the original capture? Though the square format works here, I would like a traditional vertical format, as I feel with less of space around them the focus would be more on the flamingoes.
Cheers,

Thanks for looking and for your comments. I clipped the legs because I wanted to emphasize the interaction with a better look of the bills. I do have the whole picture but then as been farther away you may loose other beautiful details. Nevertheless I'll edit the original as a whole and see how it looks. Cheers, Rafy
