Cheeky Black Crow

[Callie de Wet]

This crow was fighting fit and though that the Tawny Eagle should not be at the same waterhole with him and his mate. He dive-bombed the Tawny several times. Even connecting with him and landing on the ground It was about 40 C, so maybe the heat addled his brain. Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

Excellent action captured, it really tells the story. Light angle not exactly your best and wish the crow was looking at his target. Good for him to defend his territory. Maybe an inverse curve

Great interaction between the protagonists. Well caught, Callie.

Wonderful capture of the absolute perfect moment. I am impressed that you were able to keep the crow in the frame. The eye contact between the two is great.

Great timing, SH, and interaction. Bummer on the harsh light and the poor light angle.

Awesome photo! Technically maybe some critiques, but I love an interaction shot like this. If it were my photo I would have a huge print of it above my desk.
