Bay-winged Cowbird

by Mario Gustavo Fiorucci

A bay-winged Cowbird standing on a cedar branch in La Pampa, Argentina.
Mario Gustavo Fiorucci
I am 50 years old, live in La Pampa in Argentina and it was in 2007, when I bought my first digital SLR camera, that I began to spend much more time taking photos. I'm a fan of almost all the photographers of the Magnum Agency, Pedro Luis Raota, Cartier Breson, Miguel Lasa, Alan Murphy and many more. It would be irresponsible of me to say that I am a specialist in something. I try to get everything I like, from sports, B & W, color, street scenes. etc. I am not pigeonholed into one thing. I have made clear that the nature photography is a passion.
Winner of the federation's annual ranking of Argentina in the category Photos Nature of 2009. Finalist International Competition The Great Age of New York in Category News and reports from the site in 2009 for his work "High in the sky". Finalist International Competition Birds of Spain in the World Wetlands Status in 2009 with his work "Hooded Gull Cafe". Best Play Author Argentino International Photo Contest-group category 30/40 Nature for his photo "Burrowing Fly" in 2009. Honorable Mention at the World Cup FIAP 2009, integrating the team picture, 30/40 Group of Argentina for his two works "Defense" and "Hungry Calandria".

Congratulations. This is one of the most well-balanced shots I have seen, with a masterful use of negative space. As a painter, not a photographer, I am unable to comment on technical aspects of the photography on this site, but I know good composition, and this is it!!! And the complementary palette, while understated, is softly stunning. Beautiful!!! Thanks for this one.

THANK YOU all photographers for your beautiful shots. I often project a photo and ask my special education students to write about it. Thank you for allowing us to travel and see things that many in my classroom never will. I viist many of your websites and am in awe of the talent our world contains. Bravo/Brava!
