Another Cape Vulture from Giant's Castle. No cropping, I was lucky to get him in on 500mm:). I extended the canvas slightly at the top.

This is absolutely perfect and a superb composition, Chris. I especially like the action, colours and the background. The whites are also excellent.

Sweet. Great EXP and sharpness. The head is a bit lost in the shadowed area of the bird's right wing. And in a perfect world the left wing would have been fully flared and fully lit. Still damned good mate.

just fantastic!!! now that's a lot of feathers to maintain!! great job on the capture!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Wow just a great image Chris with outstanding action and composition. Excellent detail with a killer BG. Love it and big congrats.

I like that you've kept some of the rock in the frame to give the bird something to land on.
