Hi everybody, today after almost a week away, I am back with some new images I'd like to share. Here's one taken the last day of my visit to the Iberá Marshes, simply the BEST place for wildlife photography here in Argentina. In this scene we can see a Black Vulture standing next to a dead Capivara. I got as low as it was possible. Too bad the Vulture is not looking to the right, althought I don't really care as there is plenty of room for him to the left :)
Please let me know what you think, comments and critiques are very much welcome! Thanks and enjoy!

Excellent mood with the predominant color. It makes you
feel the heat... Somehow I don't think there's enough of the
dark ground for good balance.
I would put the horizon a bit higher or crop from the top.
I like it a ton as is and would disagree with Ilija's cropping suggestions. I think that the image design here is very strong. I would like to see the vulture even blacker and a bit sharped while leaving the light on the mammal.

HI Ramon - like it as presented, great feel to this - I actually like the bird looking the way he is, think if he was loking the other way would change the image entirely and IMHO not for the better.
