Authentic wildlife photograph, vertical 2:3 portrait. A single wild greater flamingo lifts off from a shallow lagoon, wings fully spread and beating upward, neck stretched long and head raised, legs trailing just above the water with small droplets falling from them. Pale pink plumage with coral wing coverts and black flight feathers, accurate anatomy, fine feather detail. Shot from a low angle at water level on a 400mm telephoto from a respectful distance, the bird filling the lower two thirds of the frame, with soft grey cloud and generous empty sky above. Soft diffuse overcast daylight, natural muted colours, believable exposure, shallow depth of field, a blurred low mudflat far behind, subtle sensor grain. Quiet observational documentary feel with a triumphant lift. No people, no text, no logos.
