Great shot. What a good idea to take their reflections

Oh, I am so glad you liked the picture. My family was not particularly excited about the shot, I think because they had the original conditions too strongly in their mind - wet, rain, very mucky greenish water, and wet flamingos with ruffled feathers. :) But I liked it, partially exactly because of that - that the setting was really not so great, but with a little twist, it turned into a photograph I liked. I am happy I posted it :)

I always think of colour with flamingos - love that you did this in b&w and caught the reflections instead - very creative!

Fabulous reflections and I think it sums up your day perfectly. It would be nice to see the colour version too to compare the two.

Love it, Vera. Great to just shoot the reflection. Fav

Beautiful Vera!

But it took a great picture! Just enough detail to get an idea of the birds, and I like the high contrast.

Wonderful shot - for all the reasons others have already said :)

Thank you all so much for stopping by and commenting! I agree @vstap - they were great as the subject, and - as I am learning more and more going out with the camera day after day - for the photographer, it doesn't really matter what's the weather is. The Germans have a saying - There is no wrong weather, there is only wrong clothes. By now, I can totally sign under that statement.
