The photo is taken in a zoo reserve where there were many loose flamingos. The most important thing for me in this photo was to reflect the elegance of its shape and not to see that it was in a closed reserve. For this I had to take many photos and also dismiss many others. I have not altered the photo, I have only edited in black and white and I have added contrast. The defocusing of the background comes from my fantastic 70-200 sigma and the camera used a canon mark iv. That day I was releasing it by the way.
