Hi U all
Taken this at Giants Castle 2 weeks ago. To get this massive 2.5m+ bird in the frame and in focus (I think in focus) was on easy task.The easy part is that they land verry slowly
I removed a few dark patches from the bg ,trees down the vally made a small+- 10% corp and sharpend the bird.

What an awesome pose. Love the colors and sharpness of this image. If you have any space and since he is landing, I might considering trying for a tad more room on the bottom and less on top so you can really feel that he is coming in for a landing. Well done.
What a beautiful bird and what a shot to show it off. Love the light and sharpness of this shot. That catchlight in the eye is pretty awesome. I like Marina's suggestions, I would also add some space in the front but that is a minor nit. Pretty impressive shot overall.
Hi Johan, looks like everyone's been to GC except me. Tack sharp detail throughout the vulture, and I like the landing pose. Im glad you have left some FG in the LLC - balances the comp, and something for the vulture to land onto. Killer light and BG. Well captured.
Beautiful shot excellent pose and details - first class capture.
One small reservation, there is a sharpening halo around the perimeter of the bird (most easily spotted on the feet).
Giants Castle delivers so many times. those sweeping hills in the BG really make a nice difference. loved the incoming angle and the landing-gear down pose. Well done.
Cape Vulture to land
