The buzzard, about to catch a snake in its talons, swoops down on its prey from a lively sky. The crackle and shading in the sky, gives a dramatic feel to the scene and I’ve had great fun with the detail and texture of the feathers on this fine bird.
We have quite a few buzzards nesting in the area where I walk my collie. They are really magnificent up close but I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of those talons!
This piece is not back-lit, as it has plenty of contrast, it looks best when front-lit.
