I'm Winner!

[Rosl Roessner]

I was able to get some pictures of two buzzards fighting. There are some nice images with the two birds facing each other with their wings spread. But I think, I like this one most with the winner standing above the other one.

Mark III / 500 mm 1.7 TC,

It is nice and sharp but it is a pity that the wing of the loser obscures the bill of the victor. I think these shots are very difficult to get in the ideal position.

Hi Rosl,

Very nice low angle and action. The details are terrific. I would like to see more of them.

Congrats to the winner but we needed to see its whole face... Sharp with good EXP and great underwing detail.

Like the idea of the dominant victor and the submissive loser, but would like to see the winner's face better Rosl. Thanks for posting!

Alright, I will show you another one tomorrow, when my account is ready for a new picture.
If you see the image in a larger version, the missing bill detail is not such a big problem, because the eyes are both clearly visible. But I agree totally that it is less than ideal in that image size. The details of the eyes get lost here. I am sorry and will show up tomorrow, with a hopefully better picture......

Thank you for your comments and critique!

At any image size the viewer would want to see all of the victor's face...
