BOLIVIA
I think you'll love editing this picture of flamingos at sunrise on a red lake in Bolivia. I think there's probably no coincidence that the Wednesday Game answer was BOLIVIA as well. Good job @jpphotgraphy and @r00sj3 on that.
Last night i met with some friends I knew 20 years ago when I lived in Bolivia. They are heading back to Bolivia in late October and I had no plans to join them at the beginning of the night but one thing led to another and now I'm heading back.
PHOTO ADVENTURE?
After spending some time with them I'll be looking to do an epic photo adventure! Is anyone interested in joining? I'll do a post about that later... for now here's a picture from my 2012 trip to Bolivia. The idea back then was that we would lead workshops to Bolivia in the years to come but it's hard to free up the time to organize that sort of thing.
This is from Laguna Colorado which is also the answer to the last game. If you looked closely you would see there were flamingos in the picture. Which aren't at the great salt lake which many answered. In fact I've only been to one place where there are flamingos, Southern Bolivia on the Altiplano

Your colors and cropping kicked butt and in the new format I would have given this the 2nd place win!

The crispness and blacks that you did on this was spot on... it really helped focus almost entirely on the flight of the birds.
And for that YOU WIN

I'm a fan of the blue tones. I do hate how I originally cropped the image however with the sky up top. hah

In the new format for season 2 this would have still gotten a 3rd place even with the lack of crop.

Hello!
In my version I wanted to enhance the protagonism of the 2 Flamingos in the middle.

cropped the photo to direct the viewer's eyes directly to the action. made the birds totally black to have a silhouette-ish subject alive... :D

Dang, I was hoping it was Great Salt Lake on Wednesday. I saw the birds but they were too small for me to identify them as flamingos! You also have a lot of pics from Utah so I figured it was a good guess.

Haha yeah you for sure had to click and view the large picture and zoom in because they are prettu small.

Lesson learned: If you can't differentiate a swan from a flamingo, it takes a very long time to realise that photo was taken in Bolivia instead of the USA...
Awesome photo! When sleuthing your profiles I ran into this one. Fun to see the non-edited version!! I'm on it!

So yeah you already saw an idea of how gorgeous this scene can look. It was a really beautiful and special morning! I hope i get a chance to go back to this lake again for another sunrise. It's out in the middle of no where but it's worth it.

@jarvie, as you know better than I, the original capture will always be the best as it memorialized it when it actually happened. Amazing shot. That said, and with limited tools on my iphone6, here is my humble edit.

Created a duotone from this gorgeous image, since I felt it was mostly about the silhouettes and I simply like those in duotone :-) There were quite some horizontal lines in this picture which I tried to emphasize by cropping the image to a classic 16:9, could definitely see this shot in a documentary on a big screen at the cinema :D
