A young flamingo quietly grooms its feathers in the shallow waters of Las Salinas de Calpe, the salt lake close to the Mediterranean Sea. With its long neck gracefully arched and its beak deep between its feathers, it seems completely absorbed in the ritual of brushing. The stillness of the moment is palpable: only a slight ripple in the water betrays movement.
The soft tones of pink, white and grey merge with the colours of sky and water, almost blending bird and reflection. The light enhances this dreamy atmosphere, turning an everyday moment into an image full of calm and stillness.
This picture shows the graceful side of a young flamingo, captured in its natural habitat. The subtle composition and the play of symmetry and emptiness bring balance to any interior - from modern minimalist to warm and natural. Combine this shot with "Young flamingo by the water" for a harmonious and timeless diptych.
