Great shot Vincent - great to have the feathers in such excellent condition - the pattern across the top of the bird is lovely.

OK. I give up. Too many great vulture images have come from Giants Castle, so now I have to plan a trip there. Nice flight pose, great head angle, beautiful bg, and sharp detail. Love it,.
