A vulture from Avifauna.
This picture was taken right through the fencing. In post-processing, I was able to remove the fencing and it looks like a free animal. If only it were. Photographing animals in captivity sometimes feels very double. They should be free, but the fact is that a lot of programmes's in zoos have prevented certain species from becoming extinct. Because unfortunately, animals in the wild are often not even better off. They are hunted for their fur or feathers or to eat. But they also suffer from plastic waste and pollution.
Having said that, I am proud of this picture. It is a beautiful, sharp image. The cool tones do well in a living room with black and grey furnishings. The image is otherwise calm and minimalist. And a little moody. Dark tones with enough contrast to still maintain depth.
A beautiful animal, which we do not know in the wild here in the Netherlands. They seem to occur in southern Europe, as well as in central Asia. A sturdy picture, which I would place near the dining table myself. After all, the vulture is known as a scavenger.
Very active in photography since a few years and applying more and more creativity here. I like to photograph women in combination with flowers or leaves. I also like photographing in nature. Birds and other animals, close-ups and dogs or cats.
I have my own website, where you can..
