Andean Condor
Posted by Sarito (Basingstoke, United Kingdom) on 14 June 2009 in Animal & Insect.
This shot was the most difficult of them all, the bird was sitting on top of a tree inside its enclosure, making it difficult to see. Hence the not very good quality photo..:).
Series of photos from recent visit to Chessington Zoo, London.
Thank you very much for taking your time to visit my photoblog! I would love you to leave your honest opinion, advice on how to improve the quality of the image.

Zoo photography is not so easy at all! This is another very good shot. Sad to find the tight crop.

I think it's a great shot; it is sharp and the background is perfect to make us focus on this horrible ugly thing! (I am sure his mother still loves him though). Good one.

I think the quality is just fine. Looks also very nature colour tone.

Wow. Its a condor :-) The background is nice - that aside, I love this profile you captured. It may have been a difficult shot but it came through great!

Amazing face... probably only attractive to another Condor, but amazing none the less.
