We saw a grand total of one flamingo in the Galapagos Islands. They number only 500 total in the entire archipelago so I guess that’s not too bad. The Galapagos flamingo is thought to be a separate subspecies of the greater flamingo. I was hoping for this one to fly or do something interesting, but ultimately I had to settle for a ground level reflection shot as it waded in a shallow lagoon feeding on algae and plankton.
You nailed this one and since there are so little of them you were lucky! The droplets really make the shot. I’ve caught reflections like this up here in New England. You don’t’ need to photoshop. What you need to do is be there at the right time.
