Hi Alex
exellent image
very good sharp and detail
well done.

Hello Alex,
You were a very lucky guy to make a photo like this in the wild. And only a 400 mm lens. Most of the time, when you see a Condor, it's high above the mountains.
The quality is also very good. Great sharpness and detailed focus on the head. Good natural colours.
Regards,
Peter

Hi Alex
great capture with perfect sharpness of the head and spot on exposure , nice natural bg too

Brilliant! Did you have to crop this, because even at 400, with a 5D you'd have to be pretty close to get such a tight framing of the condor. Anyway, it's a great picture at eye level, and the detail is quality.

Hi Alex,
That's a very nice inflight capture of this beautiful Andean Condor. I have seen one in Machu Picchu, pity that I had no time for the Colca Canyon... Thanks for sharing this
Greetings,
Selen

Excellent capture of this one.
Ciao e grazie.
