Turkey Vulture

[Michael Lloyd]

This was shot in Aransas National Wildlife Refuge yesterday. Hand held.

I elected not to crop the image before I posted it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Definitely needs cropping at right and below - could use a bit more canvas above as the wing is rather close to the top. I would also desaturate the yellows a few points as the vegetation colour is too "neon lime". Nice to see the top of the vulture as opposed to the bottom we usually get to see. Nice habitat too :-)

Thanks Daniel. I took the yellows down a little. This is an image shot prior to the one that I posted. BTW- the background is supposed to be a lake. The drought hasn't broken in Aransas NWR
