King Vulture in the Rain
These birds are absolutely gorgeous.
I love the way the vulture has pulled in his neck, thus giving the impression that he has a fur collar.
Taken in Costa Rica from hide (built by Bence Mate)
Canon 1 DX 600mm v.3
ISO 2000 SS 1/2500 F 6.3
Crop to full vertical from landscape orientation- no room below or above.
Nothing added or cloned.
Processed in LR and PS CC, Neat Image for NR, USM to Jpeg

What an awesome beauty. In you hands, it all comes through. Pretty much perfect canvas. TFS
Great bird, wonderful frontal stare, and nice looking perch and background. Well exposed. Nice work, as usual.
Yeah, you've pretty much nailed this, Gail. No nits from me whatsoever. Stunning colors. The droplets add a very nice dimension to the image.
Stunning vulture in a beautiful setting, Gail. Like the rain, background, and perch also.

Absolutely a beautiful picture of a wonderful bird. Wonderful exposure of a bird that is not easy to get a good exposure of. The clouds helped you there. Are you back in Costa Rica? We met at Cano Negro several years ago.
Great image Gail.beautiful bird and as usual top notch.Water drop a nice touch and like the birds head turn. TFS
Stunning frame... TFS... Love how he is looking straight into your lens...
Looks great. Nice on all accounts. The rain is great. Though i love anything in the rain.
Gail what were you referring to USM to Jpeg. USM? Thanks
I am referring to the sharpening filter in PS CC. USM stands for unsharp mask- one of the options in the drop down sharpen menu. I usually use smart sharpen option but did not for this photo. Not sure why!.Originally Posted by kevin Hice
