And now, the Princess.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Well, after the Adult female, a big grup of about 15 Andean Condors flew over and below us for a while, here I present you the princess of the sky, a sub-adult female, here the light was the same but as the bird was lower than me the result is better IMO. Hope you like it, enjoy!
C&C welcome!

Great topside view, details and BG. I would give it more room, though. The light angle is better than in the previous one.

Ramon:

Thanks for showing us more. These are birds that most of us will never see in person.

She is built a bit lighter than the adult. Nice and sharp, wing tip to wing tip. I like the diagonal comp, but is just a bit tight for my taste.

I wonder if it would be possible to lighten up the area around the eye just a bit, to show off that red eye a bit more.

Once again, thanks so much for sharing!

PS: Sorry, Axel and I were typing at the same time again! I have to learn to type faster I guess.

Hi Ramon,
What a amazing wingspan on this bird. I like the top view and BG. I agree with Axel about having a little more room.

Very lovely bird with a great view of the topside. Great detail and I also like the diagonal presentation. Just enough detail in the background to show the environment. Might be a little tight but very nice as presented.

[Fabs Forns]

You are killing me buddy, so glad you had this opportunity of very little seen birds.

[Ed Cordes]

This one has much more detail and the red eye is more apparent. Man, what an experience!

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Wonderful topside view amigo. I like it and would want a little more room too. Glad to see you back! :)

[Ramon M. Casares]

Here's a repost, with more room and a different PP, please let me know what you think. Thanks!

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

I like the repost. Big improvement IMHO. The original, now that I looked again, seemed to have a slight magenta cast that you had rectified. I like the extra space too. Congrats amigo! :) Muy bien.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Thanks for comming back Akos, I apreciete your opinion!

[Stu Bowie]

I like your repost much better - more room and the darkened BG works so well. Love the view from the top, showing excellent detail. Amazing wingspread these guys have. Congrats, and thanks for sharing.

[Juan Aragonés]

Ramón that is a great wing span! I didn´t see the king or queen but the princess lokks fantastic. The light is a bit harsh but you managed well to get this image with very few dark/shadow areas. Te top side view is very good and I love the texture of the feathers in the back. The repost looks much better than the original and I agree with Akos about the magenta cast.

Ola Ramon,

This is one of my dreammomments to encounter this princes of the birds in real live. Thanks fore showing.

[Indranil Sircar]

I have now visited this post three times just to see the magnificent bird and its wing span. Excellent capture in all respect and the repost is better. Thanks for sharing.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

The only condor I have ever seen was in the zoo in Buenos Aires. They are magnificent and you did a superb job in capturing their beauty and showing off the incredible wing span. Love this image Ramon . What a thrill it must be to see them flying freely. Big congratulations and thanks for sharing.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Thanks for your comments guys! I apreciate them a lot, I am glad you're enjoying this series!

[Dave Barnes]

I sure did enjoy this series. I might be in the minority here but I preferred the original BG as the bird pops more there. I am not sure what the correct colours are, but do also prefer the feather detail and colour of your first post.
