Freaking Awesome!!!!!!!
Wonderful composition, should be in the curves contest this one. I assume you put in the sky, that is very well done indeed. A totally original view of a vulture, never seen one like this before. Fantastic photography Jan. If I get it in the vb it will be ten for sure.

Just a great post Jan. Your vulture should get good votes from the cows or he will be picking at their bones. Love the wing span and how you captured it. I think we should name him Tarzan. Give him one of your cats. lol

Best one yet I reckon Jan, the wing feathers and curve of the wings really make it North American, and reminiscent of the rising sun too. Maybe we should start calling you Pocahontus?
