Hoopoe. (Scorpio for lunch)

[Haim Ziv]

Mark IV 300 mm 1/6400 f5.6 ISO400 blind.
Crop from vertical.

Noon time, south of Israel.

Thank you.

Haim, Im glad the youngster is gobbling down the scorpion, not for me thanks. Good interaction, and well timed to capture the feeding moment. I have actually never seen a hoopoe chick before, so this is a first for me. We have these guys constantly on our front garden.

Cool nest!! Birds can be very adaptable to their surroundings and this shows that. I like the overall earthy tones, and despite the noon hour time this doesn't look too harsh. Comp-wise I feel that further cropping from top and right may strenghten the image.

[James Shadle]

I'll take an image with that action anytime of day and then wait for another chance with better light.:w3
Ditto Daniel's comments on composition.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Very cool image Haim. Agree on the suggested comp above. The funniest thing is that while the youngster is being fed from one side, he is being strangled from the other!

[DanWalters]

Great interaction and I like the warm colors.

[Robert Holguin]

Great timing and wonderful colors. Well done.
