[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have captured this 'Greater Flamingo' at Rondebult Bird Sanctuary.

This year I just saw only one bird. I took this picture from a hide. In weekend we (my wife and I) visit different Bird Sanctuary and took possition in the hide before Sunrise. This picture I took just after Sunrise. It was a windy day and you could see it on water surface. It's very difficult when wind blows madly, difficult to focus from far. I have done my best. Colour white and yellow are very difficult colour to me, to get perfect details in harsh sunlight. Here it was a challenge to me......

Hello Srikumar,
Very nice capture with excellent details and nice colors. Stunning clarity and focus. I like the contrast against the dark blue environment....
Excellent quality....Nice red colors of the eye, feathers and legs in contrast to the white feathers....

Hello Srikumar,
A beautiful flamingo from your trip to the Rondebuilt Bird Sanctuary. The blind allowed you to get within excellent shooting range for the best possible detail and color. Top quality image all around!!
