Comment from David Ruhl
I had one 6 left with only a couple of hours left before it expires. I couldn't find anything worthy on the FAR front page, but I knew I could find one easily in your portfolio. This is an excellent in-flight capture, with perfect focus on the vulture. Great shot Grace!

Thank you! This was at a bird show, otherwise I wouldn't never see this kind of bird around here :)

An incredible capture of an equally incredible moment. It's hard to get these moments because they are fleeting, but you've gotten incredibly lucky! Your lighting and colors are brilliant as well. Wonderful job!

Comment from World Travel Photos
Nice capture of the king vulture. I really appreciate the colors and the action taking place in the photo. If there is one thing I would change it would be the saturation of the green background. I would desaturate it just a bit so it doesn't take away from the magnificence of the bird. Nice work.

A great capture of motion as this vulture puts out his landing gear! Sharp and interesting. I love that you have even caught his expression in your photo. A really good photo!

Comment from cleo85
This is a well taken photo. The flight pose is especially intriguing. The wings above the head emphasize the head of the Vulture notably. The vivid colors of the head are emphasized by the black feathers of the wings. The strong wings and legs are impress with sharp captured detail. I appreciagte the realism of color and light.

What a magnificent bird and you photographed it so beautifully. Thank you too, for the information about these birds and how they fly. I've never seen anything quite like it. I love the solid grass background and I'm curious how you were able to capture this bird from angle. 6 stars!

Thank you very much for the generous six stars! I like the unusual features of this bird too. I was situated uphill from the bird as he was landing.

Excellent close up capture of this vulture in flight. This is an interesting looking bird. Colorful face with a featherless and bald looking head. The quality and clarity is perfect along with the lighting. Thanks for sharing
