    Another great image, I for one will not say anything about the head angle. It looks like Giants Castle is a great place to visit, is there a "good time" of year?

    Great stop action. Love the pose and wing position. Maybe a little hot under the wing.????

    Loukie you never disappoint us with your wonderful action images and this is no exception. Love the extended neck in this one and the wings stretched out. Perhaps a tad hot on the underwing but a fantastic capture. Thanks again for sharing.

    Yes it was past 9am, up on the mountain close to 1800 meters, you are "closer" :) to the sun, so it must be more intense [ big smile] but having new lens, and a vulture appears in the viewfinder, you just have to press the release!!, you have no choice.

    I would be more than thrilled to press that shutter too Loukie if I had such fantastic opportunities. Keep them coming we love them !!!

    Great pose, details and BG. I might crop a bit top and bottom and try to get more details in the tale feathers.

    Terrific shot, everything is perfect, although I wouldn't mind seeing in the frame where is the bird about to land.
