"Thieves in action". Seagull - Gray heron - (Larus michahellis - Ardea cinerea). This photo, following the previous one of “thieves in action”, shows that the winner between seagull and herons to compete for the fish is .... the fish, lost in the dispute. Nikon D850, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f / 7.1, 1/2000 sec, ISO 800. Thanks for your comments.

Yes, you have luck to capture every detail in the shot, as you replied to my comment last time, Giangiorgio! This picture has all the attributes of your photos, capture of the right moment, technical quality, beautiful scene and composition and not to forget colors! Complimenti, amico mio! PDE

Grazie mille Pierre for your generous appreciated comment, ciao Giangiorgio

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

an amazing storytelling photo! Considering how the fish looks, I doubt if it can be called a 'winner' here, but I understand your explanation in the accompanying notes. Great dynamics, very well anticipated and shot! The background is suitably OoF, but in a way interesting to the situation. Well done! Kind regards, Vincent

Vincent I'm glad you enjoyed this photo, grazie mille for your nice comment much appreciated, ciao Giangiorgio

Giangiorgio...Great stop action shot where the unlucky fish is in a starring role!As in many of your shots,timing is of the essence and the result is always spectacular.Bravo et salutations-Laurent
