Pink Flamingo at Sunrise

I cycled all throughout the Camargue national park in France a few weeks ago, looking for wild horses and pink flamingos. It was incredible to see that flamingos live in France, taking advantage of the wetlands there. Unfortunately, I could not pack a longer range lens as I barely had room for my camera body! However, I was still able to capture this flamingo as the sun rose off to the right of the flamingo. I managed to creep up close enough to the edge of the water without scaring him away and got this lovely shot as he slowly trailed away.

Photoburst is a photo of the day contest focusing on Travel Photography.

Everyday (from the 1st until the 28th), among all images uploaded by our contributors, we publish a photo of the day (POTD).
Every week (on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th), among all POTDs of the preceding week, we select a photo of the week (POTW).
On the 30th we select the best POTW as photo of the month (POTM).
