The image depicts a crested raptor, characterized by light underparts, darker upper plumage, and prominent head feathers, perched on a custom-built stand in a coastal area of Vĩnh Lương, Vietnam. The raptor's stand consists of a blue, spoked circular object attached to a grey PVC pipe, which is secured to a horizontal metal road barrier. This barrier, featuring alternating red and white diagonal stripes, spans the lower foreground. A dark, possibly leather, glove and a yellow reflective marker are tethered to the barrier near the perch. In the mid-ground, a broad body of water with visible surface ripples extends to a distant coastline, dotted with small landmasses. Beyond the water, multiple layers of hazy, blue-grey mountains line the distant horizon. To the left of the raptor, behind the barrier, several yellow plastic chairs are arranged on rocky ground. The sky above exhibits a gradient from pale blue to soft orange and pink hues, with scattered clouds, indicating either dawn or dusk.
