Birds of prey - Black kite in flight (Milvus migrans)

Birds of prey - Black kite in flight (Milvus migrans). I photographed this Black kite in flight in the Monfragou Park region - Extremadura Spain. This bird is free in nature. Nikon D500, Sigma Sport 150-600mm, f / 5,6, 1/2500 sec, ISO 400. Thanks for your comments

Excellent shot, Giangiorgio! The bird's pose with open wings, plumage pattern, attentive look are perfectly captured! Beautiful diagonal composition, colors, minimalism ... Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Many thanks Tatiana for your interesting observations and brilliant compliments, I am glad you liked and appreciated this photo, ciao Giangiorgio

Superb! There is nothing that isn't perfect about this shot. I especially love the detail in the face/beak/eyes.

With such sharpness and clarity!

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

simply stunning! The clarity of your photo is so high that it looks like a pen drawing, especially with the plain gray background. I like the square background that is quite unusual for an in-flight-shot, the colors are great too. Kind regards, Vincent

Uno spettacolo. L'uccello sembra sfidarti con quel suo sguardo fiero. Si possono contare le piume, le sfumature dei colori, la sfumatura del petto, l'incisione del becco. Davvero una foto stupefacente che merita di essere aperta e guardata nella sua dimensione intera. Davvero un ottimo lavoro...grazie anche all'incisione dell'obiettivo. Top, come sempre-

Grazie mille Sergio per la tua visita e il generoso commento molto apprezzato, sono contento ti sia piaciuta, ciao Giangiorgio
