Used post edit to bring out the natural high key sky background for this soaring turkey buzzard, which was soaring on midday tropical rising air columns adjacent to Castillo San Felipe des Indios.

I like the dark underside vulture T-shape against the light chest and abdomen feathers of this cruising condor and the combination of the darker shadows of one wing tip in contrast with the translucence of the other tip. Would like feed back on graduated tint applied to the blown out tropical, midday sky.

The brisk midday, tropical winds ran into the highest hill in Cartagena, Columbia, and the vertical stone walls of Castillo de San Felipe creating excellent updrafts for the local condors to cruise effortlessly. The condor in the background lost lift and flapped back into the column.

I am blessed with the ability to open my left eye for wide vision alongside my camera while right eye through the viewfinder yields a binocular tunnel on bird in flight. This is one of several I will post seeking detailed feedback on editing of live action to compensate for blown out heavy haze of sea level tropical midday sun.
