Birds of prey. - Food Exchange – (Milvus migrans). I photographed this exchange of food between black kites, in Extremadura Spain with Nikon D500, Sigma 150-600 sport, f / 6.3. 1/ 2500sec, ISO 1000. The birds are free in the wild. Thanks for your comments

As always a great capture of the moment and great beauty and technical quality, colorful, sharp as can be and well composed! Complimenti, amico mio! Ciao,PDE

Grazie mille Pierre for your generous comment, ciao Giangiorgio

Giangiorgio, superb work as usual. Pierre ably detailed the image's technical elements that make it work. I'll have to take your word that these two birds are exchanging food. To me, they are having a tug of war. - - My best always, Michael - - - Ciao!

Michael I am glad you liked it and put it into your favorites, ciao Giangiorgio

Thanks Michael for your nice comment much appreciated, certainly looking at the photo also your interpretation is correct , ciao Giangiorgio

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

a wonderful scene shot at the right moment, these kites weren't that far away from you, even if you shot this at 600 mm; maybe you cropped the photo heavily, but it doesn't show. Good composition and focus. Obviously you couldn't remove the treetrunk in the background, which steals just a bit of the viewer's attention. Well done! Kind regards, Vincent

Thank you so much Vincent for your careful and friendly remarks. The photo was taken from inside an observation hut and the distance was about ten meters, unfortunately, the background was what actually disturbs , ciao Giangiorgio

very nice and very sharp, I like it a lot, ciao, Bill

Thanks a lot, Bill for your visit and beautiful appreciated comment, glad you liked it, ciao Giangiorgio

Great genre scene, Giangiorgio! Beautifully captured! I wonder if it's a couple or a parent and a teenage chick? Bravo! Sorry for my belated comment! Sincerely, Tatiana

Tatiana your wonderful comments are always welcome. Also left me the question of whether it was a mother with a young person or an adult couple. , ciao Giangiorgio

Tatiana I am glad you liked and appreciated this photo and put it among your favorites, ciao Giangiorgio
