Hello Ivan,
good choice to go outside. I find it darn difficult to take pictures of flying birds. However the buzzard is not one of the fastest it seems to come right to you, which needs quick handling of the camera. I think you succeeded pretty good here. The prey in the claws of the buzzard adds really to the picture. Compliments, Jacob

Bravo pour cette photo, je pense qu'il a attrapé une proie dans sa griffe de gauche. Pas de grain pour 400ISO.Et la vitesse n'a pas permis de figer les ailes mais ça donne une sensation de vitesse à la photo qui n'est pas négligeable.
Bonnes fêtes de fin d'année
Amicalement

Great inflight Ivan.
I like the head-on POV, birds pose, and comp.
Nice sharp detail, with the slight wing blur showing movement nicely. Good exposure of the dark plumage as well..
Happy New Year!

Excellent pov, composition and exposure.

Hello Ivan,

grat wing positioning..so we all can see birds wings arent always just straight out
eye concentration suggests a kill is coming up..true for a hunting bird
blurring adds a great dimension
cheers

excellent action shot.
Don't mind ISO 400. There is still enough details.
I like the motion blur

Hello Ivan,
what a lucky encounter, what a great shot - excellent capture of buzzard and prey!
Very well presented, too. Usually not a friend of frames I like the very well chosen colours of the thin lines you put around, they really do a good job here.
Very good brief notes, as always from you.
Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter

Hello Ivan,

I have been pouring over all of your amazing photographs! Learning so much, you're an outstanding photographer!

Awesome capture here of this Male common buzzard, looks nothing like the buzzards we have here in SW FL. Great sharpness and detail, perfect POV to see his catch. Excellent job! I enjoy viewing you so very much. Thank you. :)
