Merhaba Ömer,
Ha..ha, I like the title!
This buzzard is scanning the skies for a partner!
A fine capture taken almost a year ago with fine sharpness, colours and from a great low POV. The pose is excellent!
Thanks and have a good week,

Dear Omer!

What a nice ay to think at Valentine's Day! We both have made it, but in very different ways. I like yours very much and the idea that this magnificent bird of prey is "preying for a lover" is very original. Moreover, the Buzzard in your picture is a beauty and you have put him well on stage.

Kind regards

Merhaba Ömer,
Fantastic shot! The sharpness and colours are so beautiful. We can see very well the relief of the feather, the light in his eye... A masterpiece.
And the title is so funny! I hope he will find his lover coming from the sky!
Have a nice week,

Hi Omer,

I don't think we have ever been neighbors before!! I love your title! A wonderful Buzzard looking up. He must have had a busy day judging from his feathers. Excellent details of his face, eye and plumage. Marvelous colors and shadings. The pose is priceless.

Why this Buzzard is looking up intently will ever remain an enigma for the viewer, Omer, though your caption suggests it is looking for a companion.
The eye in this picture is the focal point of my attention. There is something in it that has been beautifully captured.
Thanks and regards.

merhaba Ömer Bey,
10 günlük seyr-ü seferden sonra tekrar TN'ye ve sizlerin fotoğraflarını ziyaret etmeye fırsat bulabildim.
birkaç kez kulağınızı da çınlattığımı belirteyim:)
bu nefis kareye gelirsek; ustalık yine konuşmuş. bayıldım buna. pek şirin pek sempatik bakmış. zamanlamanız ve diğer fotoğrafik özellikler son derece güzel. elinize sağlık.
yılbaşı yakını Riva'nın tepedeki çayırlarında iki tanes şahin görmüştüm. birisi adeta evcilleştirilmiş gibi pozlar veriyor, çayırda solucanları topluyordu. bilmem onlardan biri mi ama bizim de çok güzel fotoğraflar çekmemize müsaade etmişti.
sağlıcakla kalın, iyi günler, selamlar.

Hello Omer,
What an interesting pose for a bird of prey. I have seen other birds looking up just like this when a hawk was high in the sky above them, but this is the first time I have ever seen a bird of prey in this pose.
Excellent detail captured with tac sharp focus and great DOF. beautiful colors and perfectly exposed. Well done!!

Omer,
This "common" buzzard... you have done such a marvelous job on it...so wonderful a job that you have made it truly lovely... attractive enough to find a lover.... I'm sure.
Did your title "preying" suggest a "prey" = victim??? Or did you mean "praying" = supplication???
GREAT IMAGERY.
Loved the notes too.
Cheers from Mario in Canada.
