[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
four days in the island Ithaca and the rain ceaseless, storms,
the photographing very difficult almost impossible,
I remember a scene, a picture from rainy days in the lake Kerkini,
a dull weather, that extinguishes colours, the output is not the best,
I select this photo because the pose of flamingo movement,the scene of take off,running on the water of lake.

Greater Flamingo/Phoenicopterus roseus

most birds migrate for climatic reasons,however Flamingos for food reasons,winter we meet them in north parts (here in the lake Kerkini),while the summertime in southern parts (southern Spain, north Africa).

see also older photographs:**Phoenicopterus 1****Phoenicopterus 2**

I photographed this scene in January, in the delta of river Strimonas in the lake Kerkini,a part flooded the summertime, rapproachable only with boat,
the water the winter is lost, the level of lake and river is very low and you can walk in the region,with very mud

thank you for your visit in my collection!

good morning I wish you good weekend!!!

Hello Nasos,
Excellent composition, with good details and perfect focus.
The weather in Romania is also bad, too much rain and storm.
Hope that it will change......
Marius.

Hello Nasos,
A great capture!
I like the timingwith the wing and leg positions as this juvenile Greater Flamingo runs to take off from the water with a fine water relection. Technically superb.
Well done and thanks!
Best regards,
Ivan

Hello Nasos.

Thank you for that picture from the Phoenicopterus roseus.

I like the composition from your photography as well than his point of view. I particularly appreciate the movement from the bird and also the shadow in the water.

The sharpness and the depth of field are very good. Good colors and appropriated contrast ; both giving us a precise idea of the atmosphere from the moment.

Thank you for the sharing.

See you soon on treknature for other pictures.

All the best.

Philippe.

Hello Nasos,

a good presentation from this bird with low pov.
Fine colours.

Gert

Hello Nasos
beautiful shot of this flamingo running on the water

Have a good night
Javqueline

WOW is the word that i would like to use for this picture! Good action shot with a wonderful reflection, a little more directional space would have helped, but i know its difficult to do that when you have to include that water splash behind the bird.
Good Work,
