    Default Turkey Vulture at sunset

    Well, I am back with another image from my trip to the north of Chile, these guys were all over the place in Arica although getting a decent image was not as simple as one would think... this one was taken with the last minutes of light, hope you like it.Enjoy.


    1/8000Seg.
    F32
    0EV
    ISO 500
    300mm f4
    MarkII
    Handheld


    I should've gone with a lower ISO but I was actually doing some flight images and took this shot almost out of the blue when this bird perched for a few moments.

    Comments, critiques and suggestions are always welcome and apreciated.

    Ramon:

    I think this is a nicely constructed image with nice balance of the sun, bird and rocks.

    The only small thing I might consider is a small crop from the top.

    Cheers

    I like the composition, silhouette and mood. It works for me as presented.

    I actually tried that Randy but I ended up liking how the upper edge goes darker in the image :)

    Ramon, This is a very simple yet nicely taken picture. I am surprised that the exposure is 0EV, did you use any ND's or is it a mistake?
    Congrats on capturing a beautiful picture though.

    The only thing I would have liked is separation of tail and perch. Otherwise quite an impressive image! Love the mood captured.

    Ramon I really like this image. The contrast between the warm sun and dark silhouette of the bird and rocks works nicely together.

    Very moody scene. I would stick with the original crop, and I love the muted sun.

    Ramon, it is one more of a well constricted artistic looking images from you. I pretty much like it as presented with the colors and it's composition. Well done, amigo.
