22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Drone/Aerial
Symphony of Shadows

A stunning display of flamingos in flight, captured in three distinct groups, each forming the shape of a jellyfish as they soar gracefully across the sky. The birds’ elegant wings stretch wide, their vibrant pink feathers creating a striking contrast against the soft blue backdrop. As they fly in perfect formation, their synchronized movements mirror the flowing, organic shapes of a jellyfish in the water, adding an artistic, almost surreal quality to the scene. This remarkable moment captures the beauty and harmony of nature in motion.
