[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of my first postings was a picture of this lammergeier, or bearded vulture, taken in the Pyrenees,Spain. I was really glad I was able to take pictures of this vulture, because the gorge in which I saw the bird was quite narrow just as the road, which prevented me from opening the door of my car. Hanging nearly upside down I took a series of pictures.
I put a picture of the gorge in the workshop

Excellent exposure. It is dificult to get that much light on underside of wings. Nice details and composition. Beautiful blue sky background. Nice workshop photo also!

Amazing capture!
Excellent exposure among the blue sky.

Hi Jacob

Another terrific capture from you!
This is indeed a very beautiful one with this impressive bearded vulture flying against that perfect deep-blue sky.
I really like the details here - one can actually clearly see the difference beteen the short and the long feathers in its wing - something rarely visible in these types of photos.
The exposure is spot-on, the POV great and the composition very nice.
The habitat from your WS looks great, too...it makes my imagination run wild as for what one could find there ;)
Anyway, great work!

Bravo and TFS

Hola Jacob
Precioso vuelo el de este quebrantahuesos, muy bien contrastado contra ese cielo azul.
Un saludo, Jorge

Hi Jacob,
One is enjoyed to have the luck "to shoot" to this large bird until recently so rare, that luckily it is recovering in his habitats of long ago. Good photo. Warm greetings.

One of the most amazing species of vultures. This bird is like a legend in Turkiye. My dream is to take a photo while this bird is eating a bone.
TFS Jacob.
