Hi Anna!
It's a pleasure to discover this picture. The vulture is so ugly that it becomes beautiful at the same time. I just wonder if there's a reason behind the apparent uglyness of the bird. I'm also fascinated by the duality that consists in the fact that it is one of the most beautiful and elegant bird in flight. I always will remember my encounter with it in the south of France. The fact that you have taken it in a totally natural environment adds to the value of the picture. Many thanks also for the elaborated and detailed notes.
Kind regards

Hello Anna,
A fantastic start with your new Kruger series. Perfect photo in sharpness, details and pose. Very beautiful clear colours and an excellent low POV.
When I read your note I'm so jealous. I'm looking foreward for the next one.

hello Anna
I believe that it is a funny bird and the splendid pose that you arrested it proves it, I imagine his messy ambling, a very good scene with fine output in colours and details!
TFS thanks for sharing

Hello Anna,
Welcome back!
What a fine capture! This is the first time I have seen a vulture looking beautiful!
The frontal POV and pose, taken with fine sharpness, colours and lighting contribute to making this an excellent portrait of the White-headed Vulture. The eye contact is great and I like the long eyelashes!
Thanks and look forward to seeing more from your trip to Kruger NP.
Best regards,
Ivan

Sharpness, exposure and light settings, the success, highlighting the details and has all the beauty. Very successful and clearly a great photo. Notes also very informative. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Anna,
A superb closeup capture of the beautiful White Headed Vulture with great details!
I like the eyes and the way the vulture is expressing something. The sharpness and POV here with great with nicely shown natural colors. A great contrast can be seen between the colors of the bird and the blurry BG.
Well done!

Hi Anna
What a crazy looking bird. You have managed a unique POV here and it has given us a most unexpected pose. The tilted and teh capture mid-gate provide a really interesting study of this bird I have never seen before. Great colours, composition and sharpness.

Hello Anna,
This is the most 'beautiful' capture of a Vulture that I've ever seen!! It really looks so elegant in its nice dark robe, white trousers, lovely necklace and beautiful make-up! And I love that tilted head! Excellent timing and very well done! It sounds like you had a great adventure again in the Kruger Park and I look forward to your further contributions!
TFS and all the best wishes, Ulla

Hello Anna,
welcome back on TN after your fishing expedition (fishing for good shots I mean) . I like the lively portrait of this Vulture a lot, the bird looks like a clown, even a Chaplineske bamboo stick seems at hand!

Dear Anna,
Welcome back from KNP. In fact, I was expecting your mail immediately after your return from the great adventure trip. This photograph is one of the excellent examples of your superb captures over there. The vulture's expression are reflecting his great inquisitiveness about you all. The caption perse is quite meaningful. Hope to have series of photos from you now. TFS

Hello Anna,
I'm very happy that you enjoyed your Kruger expedition and can't wait to see all your pictures from Loot and you :-)
Here you begin with a splendid representant of the Vultures! I didn't know that Vultures have their own clown because this one looks to be a good participant to "Le Cirque du Soleil"!
I like the feathers arounds its neck, wore like a winter cloak with a big collar. Is it as cold in South Africa???
Excellent POV and great eye contact! Beauty is a subjective think and I'm sure that this one should be courted by a lot of females ;-)
Cheers from the cold north!

Hallo Anna,
welcome back from KNP.
You have capture the bird in a nice pose with the head twisted.
He had an eye contact with you, maybe he is flirting. :-)
Good exposure with fine natural colours.
The sharpness and DOF is good too, the vulture is well seen from the BG.
Well done, my friend.
Thanks for your comments on my last postings.
Warm Regards.

Hello Anna,
Glad to hear you had a great time on your vacation and was able to get quite a few shots. I'm looking forward to seeing them in the future.
This little guy is really cute even if he is a vulture. I especially like the inquisitive look on it's face.
It has such a beautiful colored head even though it is void of feathers. The white feathers on is upper chest remind me of a well dressed gentleman in a white collar shirt who is showing up for a dinner party.

hello Anna,
I see that you are back from your trip to Kruger.. I'm sorry that I missed this interesting shot.
I really like the way you took this picture. In general Vultures don't really look very pleasing. I don't know how you manged to show this creature of its best side, very well dressed and with a very kind expression. Must be a civilized one! I also like the natural colors of the picture.
Kind regards
Anne

Anna,
casi me ruborizo por tus halagos:-) Muchas gracias; me alegra que te guste mi trabajo; además fue una foto que hace tiempo que hice y crei que no gustaría, pero veo que me equivoqué.
Tu toma muy interesante, primero por la especie; siempre muestras especies curiosas para nosotros y este curioso buitre aún más.
Excelente explicación de tus aventuras y de la riqueza de ese parque que tantas veces he oído nombrar.
Buena realización técnica. Me gusta especialmente la pose de la agresividad que comentas de este ave y que es bien evidente en tu toma.
Un abrazo : Josep Ignasi.
Merhaba Anna!
Şimdiye kadar gördüğüm en güzel yırtıcı karesi diyebilirim. Senin benzettiğin gibi bir partiye katılmak için giyinmiş ünlü birisini andırıyor gerçekten.
Kusursuz bir pozlama ile bu kuşun tüm sevimliliğini ortaya koymuşsun. Çok başarılı bir kare. Hemen favorilerime ekliyorum. Tebrikler.

¿Qué más, Anna? Qué más... Un sinnúmero de criticas elogiosas has logrado con esta vívida y graciosa captura del buitre de cabeza blanca. Sólo decir que un argentino, de un país tan austral como el tuyo, ha incorporado en su querida colección de fotografías a "Dressed for the occasion". Un abrazo!!!

Dear Anna,
Your shot of this vulture/pose is quite amazing, as if you and he had a conversation. Where were you - when you took this photo - in the car?
I am terrified of them. There are a couple in the Rehabilitation Centre in Hoedspruit (poisoned)and were used for "demonstration" for tourists. I went there with a visitor - and one of the students - who work there during University Holidays, amused himself by throwing bits of food close to the viewers who had naked feet, and we hopped like possessed by Veitstanz to escape their sharp beaks!! (Only in the Lowveld...)
It is a perfect photo also concerning photographic techniques: every single feather is sharp as well as the fluffy "pantyhose".
I wonder, why they wear blue lipstick :))? I have not yet found out. The eyelashes - particularly on the right eye are amazing (I guess the mascara goes with the "dressed for the occasion"!)
The wisp of green at 12 o'clock of your photo adds interest to the brown veld.
A perfect animal study!
Kind Regards
Ingrid

Hello Anna, This is a stunning photo. It reminds me of the Victorian times when men used to dress up to go to the balls. With black formal manel suit, and white cravat. You were so lucky to get this great shot. I still need to put my photo's on the site. Lovies. Natley.
