What the Cow Doesn't Know

Uploaded: March 31, 2010

Description

Captured March 2010. Actually the cow will more then likely be ok. I spooked this turkey vulture away from where it was eating a small dead animal. I did think it funny that the fence post it landed on was right in front of a grazing cow. Used Topaz Adjust filter.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/200 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 300.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi
