A red head vulture — Un buitre de cabeza roja (En/Es)
The photo that I share in this post, shows a vulture posed on a glass fence of a pool shower. The three elements of the image: the bird, the shower and the glass combined with the tilted angle form an interesting composition. The photo was taken in Chile during winter when the swimming pool was deserted. Notice the red head of the vulture, this feature differentiates with its relatives of the Caribbean region whose head is black.
I used the camera of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and Gimp for the edition. I also share the image in monochrome effect, i.e. selective desaturation of the color channels.
En esta fotografía muestro un buitre posado en la baranda de una ducha de una piscina. Los tres elementos de la imagen, el ave, la ducha y el vidrio, forman una composición interesante. La fotografía fue tomada en Antofagasta durante invierno cuando la piscina estaba despierta. Estas aves son conocidas en Chile como "jotes", en Venezuela "zamuros" y en México como "zopilotes". Noten que esta variedad tiene la cabeza de color rojo, a diferencia de sus parientes del Caribe, que es negra. La inclinación de la imagen es intencional para enfatizar la composición.
La cámara usada fue la de un Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra y la edición se hizo en Gimp. Muestro también una imagen con coloración selectiva.
You know, the photo turned out great, especially considering that it was taken on a phone. I had the same one, recently replaced it with s24 ultra, but so far I have not photographed birds “in the field”
The series S2x Ultra have very good cameras. The lens of 10x is very good (in good light) to get "bird photos", without carrying around a camera with 240mm lens.
In many occasions I do not have with me the Sony A7 with the telephoto lens, but I have my phone. So it is very handy in those situations.

This is so unusual for me to see vultures in urban areas. The photo is outstanding and the composition is great. 🙂
I would say that in the majority of the cities (or in some areas of the cities) of Latin America are common.
Thanks for the nice comment.
