Right place, right time, by chance

I was out at a boat ramp to one of the everglades canals fishing on the dock but my lure sucked at picking up fish, so I set up my tripod and camera to take a HDR shot of the cloudy sky (which btw is quite rare. It's been cloudless for a long time). Just as I was clicking away, a sequence of 9 shots, it just happened that a vulture flew by, happened to fly from the top left corner of the frame to the bottom right corner at the same time span I clicked 9 times, and just happened to fly across the sun right as I clicked the shutter.

I didn't use all 9 brackets for the HDR, but included the bird.

That is a sick shot. Love it!

awsome, at first i thought what a funny way for a flock of birds to fly in

Serendipitous to the max!

Really cool shot! It is funny how a bit of luck and give amazing results. You'd like to retake that... Probably couldn't!

Great capture!

To be honest, when the bird flew through, I was like "damn bird, ruined my shot!" It was only when I popped the pics onto my computer when I realized how perfect it was.
