Hi Jose,
A beautiful capture of these group of flamingos. Very nicely composed and well seen. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Realmente impresionante con bonito recorte e interesantes franjas de color. Supongo que estar ahí cerca debe ser un auténtico espectáculo natural por la luz, el color y el sonido. Saludos y buen Domingo José:

hi jose
you got some decent shots here...we were so far away i couldnt get a good one
this shows the great collections at the lake of flamingo and not shown but not far away the pelicans...
the birds in flight add to the open-ness of the framing
note is well researched
