Aegypius monachus photo is the last one in 06.
I wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR and a GREAT 2007!!!

Recently I got a mail from a American producer asking if a similar posted vulture (in my portfolio) could be used for a preschool program project which should be broadcast on TV.

Wiki:
The Eurasian Black Vulture (Aegypius monachus) is also known as the Monk Vulture, the Cinereous Vulture, or just the Black Vulture. It is a member of the family Accipitridae which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as kites, buzzards and harriers.

Hello Annick,

Hi Annick.
My congratulations with fruitful photo year and nice last shot and best wishes for 2007.

Hello again,
This is very nice for the producer's mail, congratulations! Know, you're going to do business with the Americans, this is hot! This is a very nice portrait of this strange bird. Details and composition are amazing. I also like those soft colors. Well seen and well done. Thanks,
Claudine

Hoi Annick,
Een super mooie foto, met perfect detail en prachtig licht. De achtergrond brengt de gier erg mooi naar voren. Als ik echt kritisch moet zijn, dan is het het iets te velle licht op de kop en dat er te weinig ruimte aan de rechterkant van de foto is. Maar, da's dan wel erg op zoek zijn naar....
Groeten,
Niek

Fabulous capture Annick, best wishes for 2007!
