Birds dreams about paradis? This one I think yes, because he is watching a great bank of fishs swimming near the beach.
Sure that we dreams about it, and Maldivas is one of them. But it's a fragile paradise. In this island the higger point is about 1 meter over the sea, and if climate changes progress and the sea level rise,...this island like other islands will be under the sea. A big natural and human probleme. In Maldivas lives 200.000 people. At the same time a lot of other regions over the world can be under the sea.
We want to dream about paradise?,...in some time may be will be the only thing that we will can do it. Now we can dream yet, that we can go visit this places,...may be it's necessary to think what we know about this climate change and what we can do. Take information about it.

Serio problema, desde luego, creo que junto a Maldivas, el Kilimanjaro es otro de esos puntos claves que se usan para hablar del cambio climático, aunque yo hallé más nieves allá arriba de lo que esperaba. Bonita foto, bonita ave, me recuerda a mi querida República Dominicana. El cielo y el agua juegan de tal forma que invitan a la ensoñación. Bonita foto JAvier. Un abrazo.

Salut Javier,
tu as trouvé le paradis.
Félicitation mais pourquoi es-tu revenu avant qu'il ne sombre dans l'océan?
Marc

Hola Javier,
Que privilegio poder estar en este precioso lugar sólo como este ave. Precioso contraste del agua del mar con la blanca arena y bonita combinación de azules. Me gusta como enmarcas la foto con la palmera por la parte superior.
Excelente foto, muy buen trabajo!

Hola Javier, very nice photo with excellent composition and colors! Like a magazine photo for travel vacation. Perfect job!

Very nicely seen here Javier. These wonderful birds are so cooperative as they stand and wait for a meal to swim by. A very nice exposure and I like the framing by the palm tree.
Phil

Bonjour Javier
Très joli cliché de cet endroit paradisiaque avec de magnifiques couleurs et toutes ces nuances de bleus et de verts. L'oiseau est idéalement placé.
Bravo - merci pour le partage et bonne soirée.

Hello Javier!
Piece of paradise there!
I liek this alone bird on the empty beach!
Strong and beautyfull!
Best regardS!

tot i que sòc més aficionat a la teva fotografia de muntanya, aquesta em te un bocinet del cor robat. Em fa sentir bé (no entraré en detalls tècnics) relaxat i optimista. Qui espera sempre obtè recompensa, com l'ocellet, que estava esperant la posta de sol... o no. Magnifica fotgrafia amic Xavier!

Hello Javier!
Really Paradise!
Great colours and nice point of view!
Excellent done!
Best regards!
Lili
