Buzzards are really opportunetists.They wait at poles besides the highway for birds to get killed by cars.. As less as possible activity for good results..! I normally see them sitting and waiting if i drive to my work.. So this time i took my camera with me, and its always tricky when you stop, because lots of time when they notice you,they take a rain check. ... This time I was lucky, the early morning light gave it an extra dimention..

Very nice image Olger,
you've captured the spirit of your note very well withthis image. I can indeed imagine it waiting for some roadkill to happen. Very well done! Best regards,
Mike

Hello Olger

Well done on a great shot. The only change I would make would be more space above the head. Good sharp details and nice catchlight in the eye. Thanks. :-)

Olger, I agree with Pam: I would leave more space above the head - but that's just a preference.

Your shot is really great. I do enjoy composition, pov and sharpness. The eye has that great catchlight. The expression tells everything: he really seems to be looking for prey.

A great image.

Dit is echt goed Olger! The new lens is really fantastic. Like Pam suggests, some more space above the head is all I would change. I would also add some more space under the tail. Other than that: superb shot. Really well composed, great details and sharp!

Groet,
Pieter
