Buzzard and crows
Hi friends,
after a long time :frown: I was a day out in nature last week. Weather and light was awful. Here I was lucky to have two layers to observe. In the foreground some little birds on a huge compost pile. In the background the usual scuffles between buzzard and crows.
I was lucky to get some shots as the buzzard decided to change place.
Canon EOS 7D, Nikon 600mm 5,6MF, 400ISO, f8, 500, carwindow
C and C always welcome
thanks for looking

Hi Bertl

It is certainly a very atmospheric shot but I think it is a little too distant for me and the bottom crow looks a little bit messy. Certainly looks like a nice day to be out in nature though and it is an interesting interaction

Best

Andy

Hello Bertl.

Its a good capture but for me it just hasn't quit worked . I think it is mainly becuase the birds are going in the opposite directions and both leaving the frame. I think if you had been lucky enouth to have captured then facing each other it would have made this great. would also crop some of the top.
