About

A striking low-angle close-up captures a large bird of prey with magnificent white and brown-tipped wings fully outstretched. The bird rests its yellow talons on a heavily textured leather falconry glove worn on a handler's hand. The background is a clean, bright expanse of clear blue sky, emphasizing the intricate feather textures and natural lighting. The shot is composed vertically with crisp focus on the under-wing plumage and talons. This detailed wildlife photograph was captured by photographer Clayton Cotterell.
