EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the raw power and instinct of a hunting falcon are beautifully captured during a celebration by Egyptian clubs and austringers on World Falconry Day. The image transports us to the Borg al-Arab desert in Alexandria, Egypt, where nature's predator-prey dance unfolds with breathtaking intensity. The falcon, its feathers glistening under the golden sunlight, soars through the air with unparalleled grace. Its wings spread wide as it darts towards its target—a hare desperately fleeing for its life across the rugged terrain below. In this fleeting moment frozen in time, we witness an extraordinary display of strength and agility. The photograph not only showcases the sheer beauty of these majestic creatures but also highlights their integral role in ancient traditions such as falconry. It serves as a reminder of humanity's deep connection with nature and our age-old fascination with harnessing the power of these magnificent birds. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we cannot help but feel a mix of awe and respect for both hunter and hunted. The fear etched on the hare's face is juxtaposed against the hunger driving the falcon's pursuit—an eternal struggle that epitomizes survival in wildlife. Amr Dalsh masterfully captures this dynamic encounter between two forces—one driven by instinctual need for sustenance while another seeks to evade capture at all costs. Through his lens, he immortalizes a fleeting moment that embodies both beauty in nature and primal power—a testament to Earth's intricate tapestry woven by predator
