Locked in battle
A couple of kittiwakes locked in a fight.
The frequency of this happening isn't high so it catches you by surprise, they spin downwards 300 metres to the sea.
D850, 500mm, 1/3200 at F/7.1, ISO 320

Nicely captured. Exposure, detail and background all look good. I guess I would rather have the image without the clipped wing tips but this view gives a closer look at the locked bills. Thank you for sharing, Tim.

Spectacular. Which 500mm? Is this full frame or cropped? Either way, I am fine with the framing as it.

Crop is very interesting...sharp and well exposed.
A full frame with the wings would have been award material.
Nice work making this work.

It's a 500mm f/4E version, is a crop but not a big one came with wings clipped.

Wow, this is pretty cool. The heads are sharp and clear from other body parts. Nice to see the eyes on both. Wicked action, and a fun frame to study.
