The great scape Photo

Photographer’s Note

Laguna Colorada (Red lagoon) is located inside a big natural park in southwest region of Bolivia, near borderline with Chile. In this region there are many lakes with strange colors and almost all of them full of flamingoes. We had plans to spend many time in the banks of this marvelous lake but indians closed entrances of that park cause they wanted more attentions of government. Then we were obligated to scape fast to go out of that park using an alternative way. We have few time to make some photos, there were thousands of flamingoes there but we couldn't arrive so near of them, if you pay attention you will see them in the photo. The dust in the background it was another group of tourist scaping. This region has so many beautiful things to see and I think even if we had a month we couldn't see everything.

Beautiful soft colours, Jorge, and good exposure and DOF. Personally I would have preferred to see a little less of the sky and a little more of the foreground. That would have caused the near and far shorelines of the lake to divide the image into three sections in line with the 'thirds rule' - but it's still a very good composition as it is. Cheers . . .

Hi Jorge,

your view at the Laguna Colorada is quite interesting...you're right about the flamingos there...simply plenty of them to see...you're not so lucky with the sky but the rolling dust over the surface makes for the cloudy sky...great place to visit...cheers, arturo
