[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While on the road to Loreto, further in the south, we stopped to get a better look at this dry riverbed. This vulture came gliding down along the riverbed towards the road, probably hoping to find some road kill to eat. The focus is only on the vulture as I was panning with my camera to try to get the vulture in sharp focus.

Welcome to TN David. Intresting capture you have here. a difficult one to get, but this one not bad, we can see clearly the bird though its not completely sharp. the back ground is good blurred from the pan, but we can still see what sort of habit it is living in. good title by the way.
Some people will say it needed to have more room in front of the bird to give it room to move /fly into, me I think well done for even getting it as I would fail every time on this sort of shot.
It would be good for you to update your notes and photo info. with details of the camera and its settings and any post work you you did to prepare it for us to view.

Welcome to TN David. nice capture except of the focus I like the idea and movement

David, as the guys above have already told, quite a difficult capture. The vulture is a beautiful one and I did like the title of your photo.

Welcome to TN.
