Beautiful Vulture?

Comment by Jason_Cross:
Thanks guys for the comments. Funny thing about this image is that it actually has a fraction croped off the top and that is it. I barely got this one in frame at all. The bottom wing is it! I was so surprised to see a big bird fly over head that I rushed my camera out snapped about 6 shots and then the bird was gone. I thought it was a hawk, but to my surprise when I downloaded the images it had a red face! It is a turkey vulture, a site that you don't see to often in these parts. I think I now have learned of a place where they live in the wild, and I am hoping to maybe grab some more shots like this (and better) soon.

I like the crop, good call going with the horizontal on the vertical subject. Most would not have done this. 8

I think this is cropped a bit tight - I'd like to see a little more sky at the tips of his wings - other than that I like it! Good idea too

Great photo of a hawk in flight. Not Sure how it's an unexpected find, but still a nice shot.
