Me neither.

I like the gliding pose, details and setting. It would have been great to see more of the upper side of the near wing but I like it as is. You handled the harsh light well.

I love this image Loukie. Great crop, great title, and beautiful gliding pose. Love the expression, looks like he means business. Very well done, terrific as presented.

I like this image a lot Loukie. The low gliding pose is accentuated by the shadow below and the underwing area is well lit. Different and well-captured.

Thank you for the constructive crits, I appreciate it, it was just such an unusual pose to find a vulture with this wingspan, just inches off the ground, Thanks once again.
