Looking at yours and TB's there is one thing for sure...I won't bother eposting ny of mine of the King...Not even close to being in the same class as yours and his.

Just so you know, I signed in through a public terminal, so I saw the main flickr splash screen to the public, and THIS photo was on it! Congratulations! I went back to look again and it changed, so they obviously rotate them, you probably won't see it again. But good job!

Excellent photo. I think this photo is better than the other you reference.
Amazing bird too.

Thank you all...
Jim, while I wish it was my shot, it's True Bravarian's and it appears flipped! I wonder if flickr did that or if TB did that...

OMG! It's amazing! It looks better than the vulture periodically appearing on the front of Flickr's home page.
Jim Frazier (76 months ago | reply)
Well, yours is better. ;-)
