Beautiful image with declining sun giving the back-light, ciao Sandor

Delightful sunset scene, Giangiorgio! Beautiful composition, color, silhouettes of birds and plants! I don’t understand why they fought. Bravo! Sincerely , Tatiana

Albert many thanks for your visit and kind comment

Grazie mille Sandor , glad you liked it

Un bello scatto e una bellissima composizione. Ciao amico mio.

Thank you very much Tatiana for your comments always welcome and for your support. these birds are very territorial and attack those who enter their territory

Caro amico Mehmet grazie per le tue belle parole, mi mancano tanto le tue fotografie, hai preso un periodo di riposo?

Another masterpiece!! Bravo!!

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

what a beautiful capture of these fighting birds against the sunset! It's almost too good to be true, but I know you can do this. Kind regards, Vincent

Giangiorgio, I marveled at your images of silhouetted flamingos and now I'm marveling at a photograph of silhouetted stilts. The two birds may be fighting over territory or over a mate, but- to me - the image portrays them in such a way that I can't tell where one bird's body ends and the other one's body begins. Your composition is superb, with a sun bright enough to give me afterimages left of center and with the vegetation slanted in a way that is almost congruent with the birds. Indeed, another masterpiece, Maestro! - - My best always, michael - - Ciao!

Grazie mille Warren foryour kind comment
