Giangiorgio, you caught this bird at exactly the right moment - mouth wide open with the worm about to be swallowed whole. Dare I say that I've never seen a bird shot like this? The vivid colors contribute to the image's coming alive for me. - - My best always, michael - - Ciao!

Unbelievable capture, Giangiorgio! Bravo, maestro! Complimenti! PDE

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

we have become so used to the quality of your nature photos that it doesn't surprise anybody anymore when you upload your next masterpiece. I think I realized that again when opening this image, which is nothing less than spectacular. Not only have you photographed a relatively rare species well (even though it has an IUCN 'least concern'-status) , but at the same time frozen an action that is very hard to capture. Very well done! Kind regards, Vincent

Marvelous! But the bird looks none too happy with your dinner time intrusion!

Grazie mille Pierre for your generous comment, ciao Giangiorgio

Vincent thanks for your appreciation and great commentary of my photo, ciao Giangiorgio
