Fascinating photo and note Selen.

I love the apparent organisational aspect of the flamingos as they prepare for their dance off. The image is perfect and I prefer this one to the workshop, gives them more space and we see the setting and water. Excellent colours and detail.

Well done, great job,
Simon

Hello Selen,
Fine capture of what must be an impressive spectacle. The video was both interesting and entertaining.
I like the horizontal strip structure of this composition, the movements well suggested in this shot of displaying greater Flamingoes.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

I like the fuller version better, Selen.
In addition to the fine qualities as an image, this picture is the documentation of a very significant moment in group animal behaviour.
The picture is a winner on both counts.
TFS.

Hi Selen

Another impressive flamingo shot from you!
This flock is impressive and i'm sure that watching their mating dance live was just spectacular!
I really love the strong contrast contrast between them and the BG - making them stand out so well.
Everything - colors, lighting, POV and DOF - are really great...just like in all of you photos! ;)

Bravo and TFS

Hi Selen
Flamingos have the most unique way of choosing a mate. I just watched the Nature program on TV called Andes, The Dragons Back where they showed this beautiful dance. Plus on iTunes you can download a Podcast of the Flamingo's Dance (the same link you show above.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful and colourful mating dance today. The colours are spot on.

Merhaba Selen,

I rather like this photo! I have only seen this many flamigos in Kenya,
and they were not doing the mating dance! Next stop the video you mentioned in the excellent notes!

I like the compo here with the different layers. Tfs, Jay

PS In the note you mention the diet, is there more to it than brine shrimp?

Excellent massive capture Selen with pleasant perspective and good focus and sharpness.

I like it a lot: composition, POV, DOF, focus, sharpness, color, lighting, background, framing, and notes.

I don't like it: nothing to quarrel.

The colors are perceived very well although I believe that the white balance or compensation could have been optimized.
Thank you and greetings... Ricardo
