This vulture seemed to be planning a great escape if it just catch a great wind gust to take it aloft. The shot was actually taken at a zoo in Boston. Nikon D300 with a Tamron 18-270mm VC lens.

I like the sharp detail in the face of the vulture and the raised wing position, which IMHO is somewhat of a unique pose. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Richard, this came out very well. The exposure looks right on and the pose is well composed. The vital catchlight in his eye came out great.
On another note I see you you are fairly new to NPN and you may have missed an important element in the "Guidelines" (See drop down menu under galleries.) One of the keys to the success of these galleries and forums is the give and take feedback of members. Part of the that naturally involves commenting on the postings of others. In fact, NPN guidelines suggest one strive for at least 5 comments for each posting. If you are uncertain how to go about image critique, those same guidelines give you some easy ways to get started... I look forward to more of your postings and to seeing your reactions on the work of others!
