Hooded Vulture

[Stephen Earle]

I photographed this vulture as he was flying about near a giraffe kill in the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve in South Africa. 40D, 100-400, ISO 320, f 6.3, 1/320.

Nice pose and eye contact. I would give it a bit more room at the bottom and too bad the sun was not behind you.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

Agree with Axel`s comments!

[Alfred Forns]

Could also add a suggestion Would consider a higher ISO for obtaining a higher SS I think the bird could be sharper and might have to do with the 1/320 It is all a trade but think you would be coming out ahead !!!! Love the bg !!!

[Maxis Gamez]

Very nice wings position. The BG really works with your subject. Good capture!

[Stu Bowie]

This pops from the BG nicely Stephen, and great show of the wings. Well captured.
