Excellent exposure and sharpness, love the colours too. I would try for a 3:4 format vertical crop on this one, just my tastes and others may disagree.

[Tom Rambaut]

I like that crop Paul.

alot of the space to the left and right of the vulture adds nothing to the picture.

Nice portrait of a Ruppells' vulture Harshad. I also agree that the vertical crop looks better. Nice lighting.

[Craig Brelsford]

How can I not love this shot, Harshad? The vertical is a good crop, but why not indeed use that sere background? In other words, I'll give a thumbs-up to your horizontal crop too.

I think the vertical crop is too tight. I much prefer the OP. Harshad, I really like the BG. The image is sharp & beautifully composed in camera with a great HA. VWD sir.
