From Anhinga Trail Had the chance to capture this Turkey Vulture flying low while waiting for Anhingas A treat since we don't see them flying low often

Love the light. The composition works very well. There is this one branch in the BG behind the head that is bothering me but other than that a nice image. Can you believe I don't have ONE image of these guys?? :)
Very nice...such a cool looking bird. That patch of light vegetation right behind the head is catching my eye though and is a little distracting. Such sweet light.
Nicely done but would love to see it darker and denser; it looks really light from here.
later and love, artie

Really like the look and feel of this image Alfred. The exposure looks great with wonderful feather detail. The Bg is a lovely addition to this capture !!
Beautiful image of this TV. I like everything about it except for the bright grass? that is pointing to its bill from the bottom up, maybe cloning that out would be on my short list of fixes. The bird could go a tad darker.
Looks quite nice Alfred! I agree with Artie that a bit darker processing would look nice with this image. I managed a couple from this fly-by as well...including one image that has the EXACT same pose down to the feathers, from a slightly different vantage point. Was a fun evening even if the light didn't seem to last very long.
