Flamingos at Sunset, a photo from Antofagasta, Norte Grande

Photographer's Note

At that place, Atacama´s salt lake, sunset is the best hour to appreciate sky, light, silence.
The birds reflexions on the still waters are so beautiful , almost incredible.

Hi Maria,

This picture is a lot better than the first one. The place looks stunning and you have managed the reflection really well. There is a bit of grain in the sky but that is to be expected at such an hour. The birds themselves are slightly out of focus though. But its a nice attempt.

Regards,

Hemant

Hello Maria,

I like your idea to do such a framing and light management. The warm tones of this shot make it so fantastic. Well done!

Hi Maria,
amazing place. I have seen some flamingos in Torres del Paine but they were to far away and I did not have a good tele lens to capture them. North Chile in Atacama or further in Bolivia Salar de Uyuni is supposed to have thousands of them. I would love to go there some day. This unset view is breath taking. The quality is not the best lacking a bit of sharpness but it is very impressive as it is.

namaste Maria,
it is a nice composition with the birds in such calm beach. Colour tone is marvellous. Great to see the pink and the reflection in wet sand. I may crop some of the sky from top to place the horizon line in third portion of the frame. I tell you my personal choice and I have to say it is a superb shot. Tfs.
Best wishes.

Profesora Maria...

Esto es arte, prima! Los reflejos perfectos de los cigüeñas (palabra correcta?), el cambio suave de la luz, y el azul brumoso de las colinas distantes, es un hermoso momento congelado en el tiempo!

¿Quizas sería mejor presentar esta imagen en un proporción panorámica, como 2,5:1 o 3:1? ¿Recortar un poco el cielo y el primer plano, tal vez?

Saludos, como siempre,

Hola Maria
J'aime la douceur des couleurs, les reflets des flamands, un instant ou le silence et la contemplation prend sa place

Hola maria,
Its amazing how those birds stood with a measured distance between each other's.
Fine golden light reflected on the wet sand, and the hills on far made a nicecdivision over the picture.
Buen tardes,
Ike

Sublime picture Maria, moreover from one of the most hostile area of the planet. A flamingo group is searching food in a salt pan of Atacama desert, see you
