Buzzard Sunset

: Buzzard Sunset; A layered photo, the sunset was taken at saltfork reservoir. The buzzard was taken from my backyard. The 2 seem to work well together. Sure an Eagle would have been more elegant, but remember, buzzards are people too! He appears to be drifting in to roost after a long day of roadkill shopping.

Amazing. Not surprising that this one is a winner. The Buzzard just adds to the beautiful sky. Until I read your description, I thought what great timing. the joys of technology huh. Not knowing much about birds, I would have believed you if you said it WAS an eagle.

Peaceful/well layered and good idea to mount the flying eagle:

You could sell it like a poster!
