    Well that’s not quite what you expect a vulture to look like is it? He almost looks noble! Wonderful image Macky, well done!

  • Macky replied

    :-) You’re quite right Trevor, not the image you’d expect, thanks so much!!!

    Well Done Macky just look at that claw, I bet you used Telephoto lens on this one, or its stuffed

  • Macky replied

    G’day Macky,

    You have done this awesome and majestic bird proud with this great study.
    Shot with good exposure in great light with good use of depth of field and a nice sharp focus.
    I feel though that your composition could be improved by cropping in about half way from our right and top of frame to place the bird better, (as at the moment it seems too close to our left edge of frame) and give to it even more prominence. (Just a thought).
    The colours seem lovely and natural and the contrasts are most pleasing.
    Good work!

    This shot is phenomenal. Do you know if the white color is typical or if its a mutation? Just really impressive and I love the title too!!

  • Macky replied

    Thank you so much, not it’s not a mutation at all, it’s species typical!!
