Coincido con el que me precede. ¿Donde estabas para tomar la foto?. Buen documento, y bien tratado. Fondo movido con ave nítida. Muy buena

Superbe image, ses ailes déployées, planant au-dessus de ce beau rocher, peut-être a-t-il aperçu une proie!

Es extraordinario el efecto de contraste y dramatismo que los filtros rojos dan al B/N. Perfecta, Paco.
