I will very much value your input on this picture. The background is OOF mountain, which was slightly burned at the top due to winter fires.

Oh my.. I like this very much. Wonderful pose you captured. The background enhances this image. I like it very much. It feels just a bit tight in the frame. Congrats on a fine image.

Very nice pose, background, detail and exposure. I agree that a bit more room, especially below, might help a bit.

This is a stunning image. The composition works fine for me. The only nit that I have is that I would smudge/clone out the horizontal line of the BG, the one leading into the birds head; but honestly it doesn't bother me that much. Congrats on an amazing photo

Lovely flight pose with the head hanging like that and the full wing spread. Love the feet and the muted colored BG.

[Ian Mason]

I love it! Perhaps a little more room on the bottom but that's minor - superb image!

Hey Elmar,
love the crop and pose and BG!......sweet all around!!!

[Aidan Briggs]

Wow, Sweet BG, wingspread, and HA. Maybe a bit more space on the bottom, but definitely one of the best vulture images around.

Wonderful shot Elmar. Good as I've seen. As mentioned, be nice for some more room, but that is very, very minor.

Thanks David, your comments are much appreciated.
