Great angle and a beautiful image, Lennart. I love the pose and the water streaming from the beak. Well done.

Great eye level perspective. Perfect timming catching the water falling like that. Detail is excellent too.

Very Nice Photo Lennart!!!

Perfect low angle and perfect timing. Cool to see the "waterfall" and its reflection.

Thank you everyone for your nice comments.
The buzzard stayed for one hour and twenty minutes so I had a lot of opportunities to take photos.
