Shot from ZOO Bojnice, Slovakia
The Chilean Flamingo (Phoenicopterus chilensis) is a large species (110-130 cm) closely related to Caribbean Flamingo and Greater Flamingo, with which it is sometimes considered conspecific. The plumage is pinker than the slightly larger Greater Flamingo, but less so than Caribbean Flamingo. It can be differentiated from these species by its greyish legs with pink "knees", and also by the larger amount of black on the bill (more than half).

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for sharing this image.
Nice shot.
Beak and eye remain sharp and that's important in this kind of image...

Hi Stefan,
A very nice shot on this Chilean Flamingo. The action is stopped very well to show alot of nice detail, yet just some blurring to imply the frantic action taking place. Nice vibrant colors. Looks good!

Hi Stefan.
What a nice "action" shot. You have reflected this charming bird, its surroundings including water spray perfectly. Rich colour palette, great details and sharpness, nice composition this is not full list of your picture merits. Bravo and TFS.

Hi Stefan

This is another wonderful capture from you!
What a charming and nice "action-shot" :))
I really like the rather small shutter-speed you used on this one and hence all the small drops of water in the air ;) Great
work!
Also the side POV is great, the DOF is very well chosen and the exposure is spot-on. I really love seeing those wonderful colors so well saturated and making such a eye-pleasing contrast.
Superb job!

Bravo and TFS

Another wow shot Stefan. Great action on the Flamingo splashing through the water. Water splashes crystal clear. The colour on the Flamingo is wonderful and great sharpness, also, on the head, eye and beak of the bird. It is a very attractive species indeed. Lovely composition.
