Grand Canyon Photo

Photographer’s Note

The photo was taken at the south rim of the grand canyon. They have reintroduced the California condor to the canyon recently. The condor has a wing span of 9 ½ feet. The spots on the wings are numbered tags

Bonsoir Rudolf,
Superbe POV et grand shot avec la présence des deux condors en vol. On les voit plus souvent de sessous. Le décor est géant !
Thanks for sharing

Wow Rudolph
what an incredible shot.
It's quite rare to see condor flight from an higher POV.
The background is breathtaking, i like very much the rocky tower on the right.

Spectacular shot of the condor as it returns to the canyon in full spendor. The typical canyon colors of deep red and orange are not shown throughout the scene and so it shows that the intent is clearly on the birds and a nice one at that!

Hi Rudolph, very nicely done. The composition is very good with canyon in the background and the peak rising up on the right. It is all of course a great back drop for these two California Condors. Nicely seen and captured.

Thanks, John
