[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
the flamingos migrated in the lake Kerkini…
and me unfortunately in Athens,
the passed autumn I found itself there, lived enough together closely,
a such moment dedicate to you,
the scene of take off, running on the water of lake.

Greater Flamingo/Phoenicopterus roseus

this scene was photographed in shallow northern department of the lake Kerkini.
The greater flamingo is particular about its choice of habitat.
It needs shallow lakes in which to fed and breed successfully.

thank you for your visit in my collection

have a nice day and good photographs

Hi Nasos,

These beautiful Flamingos seem to be dancing on the water. You have captured the scene perfectly - each bird is shown in fine detail. I love the splashes in the water and the blurred trees in the background. Lovely flamingos, lovely picture.

hello Nasos,
Missed this funny one! Amazing to see the row of Flamingos just splashing over the surface of the lake. Very interesting and original shot. The harsh light is very well handled.
Have a nice Sunday
Kind regards

Hello Nasos.

Many thanks for that photography from a group of pink flamingos. I appreciate the point of view as well as the composition of the shot: the water grey blue, the pink flamingos taking off, the forest and the sky ; wonderfull depth of field.

Thank you for the sharing.

All the best.

Philippe.

Hello Nasos !
I have seen these birds once, during my holiday earlier this summer, they are so beautiful ! You have managed to capture them so nicely, in all their grace and elegance. I aloslike their poses, they seem to be walking on the water. Soft colors, wonderful composition with lotsd of space around the birds. Very well done !
Valérie.
