Hi everybody! This is my post numer 2.000 and I wanted to celebrate it with this shot from a few years ago, this vulture flew over our boat in Corrientes during sunrise and gave me some nice oportunities. As said, this one was created on a moving boat with the first day light.
I have enjoyed every second here at BPN, I have learned a lot and hope to keep learning. I apreciet all your kind words as well as your critiques. Thank you for making me feel at home here!
Hope you like the imge. Enjoy!

Hi Ramon,

Congratulations in your 2000 post. As always, thank you for the support. Means a lot!

Love the light and details under the wings. Composition looks a little different by putting the bird high in the frame. I understand that's a matter of preference.

You take care and keep up the good work!

Congratulations Ramon on 2000 posts! We appreciate your excellent photographs and equally excellent critiques here on BPN! This is a new species for me. Very sharp, especially considering it was shot from a boat. I would crop a fair amount off the bottom of the frame to emphasize the bird more.

Congrats on 2000 plus a great image showing the detail on the vulture. Very hard to do unless you get the angle to the sun just right.

A belated mazel tov on 2K. Sweet light and sharp but a poor far wing position ad the subject is angled away from you.

Hi Ramon,
Congratulations on your 2000th!

I am late to the party as I stumbled across your post. Love the light and sharpness. And since this is from a boat, it feels sweeter.
Cheers,
