This juvenile Bearded Vulture made a brief appearance right in front of the hide. Unfortunately the light is not the best, but I'm still very happy with it. I'd like to know what you think - please feel free to comment.
Looks like decent light to me. I like this image alot. The close up action is very cool and this is one cool looking bird. Nice bg too. I like the close look and don't mind the clipped wings at all. His tail feathers are a bit ratty, but not much you could do about that. Very well done, Isak.
I don't think the lighting is bad at all...
On the contrary to others, I do feel that it would have been a killer image if wings were'nt clipped. But then since it was unexpected & right infront of u, it could not hav been helped...
Overall, its a fantsatci image with warm colours & excellent sharpness.
TFS.

I like this a lot! Great light, details, BG and the composition works well, too. A bit more separation between beak and wing would have been great but I like it as is.
Looks like great light to me... I particularly like the light on the chest feathers as well. Wonderful action... Clipped wings don't bother me, but it'd be fun to see the full spread as well. I bet a super close portrait of the head and neck would be fabulous too... Highlighting the contrasting "beard" against the lighter chest feathers and those marvelous eyes.
Jim Neiger I hear is a super in flight shooter. If he says it is a good one, then it must be. I saw the potential here right away. I love air brake images. I don't mind the clipped wings at all. There is no perfect picture out there. This one comes close however.
