Food request ( Egretta garzetta) . The photos of this large chick Egret that request food have been made in the warm light of dawn. Nikon D500, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f/7,1, 1/2500 sec, ISO 1000. Thanks for your comments

excellent wildlife shot- how far away were you?

Fantastic capture of the unfolding action involved in a food request, Giangiorgio. Beautiful colors, light and composition. Excellent focus and details. Best regards, Paul.

Amazing dynamic “Food Request” image, Giangiorgio! Surprisingly, such a large chick commensurate with mom and / or dad is so dependent on parents! Perfectly captured plus a wonderful active background! Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

A repetitive phenomenon of life captured in a beautiful image, ciao Sandor

Gregory and Verena thanks for your visit and appreciated comment, the shooting distance is about 80 m, a large channel separates the nesting site from the street where I usually shoot

Paul many thanks for your beautiful appreciated comment

Grazie mille Sandor per il tuo apprezzato commento

Thanks Tatiana for your nice comment. Parents often deprive themselves of food to feed the baby that appears larger than them

Marvelous!! You find fantastic sciences to photograph!! Bravo!

Grazie mille Warren for your appreciated comment

Giangiorgio, the young bird's body language, as others have indicated, is to motivate its mother to provide a meal. But, I see and feel much more in their positions relative to each other. The mother's occupying higher ground seems to convey dominance. Yet each bird's mouth appears to be open to the same degree, which somehow may communicate equality. In the final analysis, though, like other mother/child relationships, their communication may defy interpretation or analysis. This image is composed and otherwise rendered in a way that clearly reflects your style, the care you which which you invest each image, and also the sort of beauty that is unique to the world of wild creatures. - - My best always, Michael - - Ciao!

Michael your comments are always welcome, interesting and comprehensive, I thank you for your constant support, glad you liked it

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

wonderful nest picture of these egrets. Young herons are insatiable and their parents have to work really hard to feed them. I love this photo's composition, colors and beautiful 'action'. Very well done, GG! Kind regards, Vincent

Grazie mille Vincent for your appreciated comment. In fact in this age the young herons appear larger than the parents that to feed them deprive themselves of part of the food and reduce their dimensions.

Same as I commented on the previous, plus a remark on the superior technical quality! PDE

Awesome shot, well captured...

Grazie mille Pierre for your beautiful words and support

Thanks a lot Albert for your appreciated comment
