Chilean Flamingo

The light could be better since it was raining. The colors could be better if the sun was out. And the shooting angle could be better (i.e. lower). But it's a f@%#ing flamingo. In the wild. At 15,000 feet of elevation in the goddamn Andes just short of the Bolivian border. And it's sharp AF. So yeah, this shot's making it onto the webpage even if it's not as artistic, creative, or polished as some of the other shots in this gallery. How 'bout dem apples!
