    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    One of my favorite images from my Giants Castle trip last year. Cloned out another out of focus Raven behind the other one. Light was a bit harsh, but I think it came out quite well.

    Technical:
    Canon EOS 1D Mark 3
    Canon 500mm F4.0 IS USM
    1/1600 @ F8.0 @ ISO 640
    Exposure bias +1/3

    Input and comments very welcome. Thanks!

    Wynand, the pose from the bearded vulture really adds a lot of interest here, and getting the raven in the frame showing the haressment is tops. Good DOF too. Well captured.

    You handled the light beautifully. The underwing feather detail is great and I love the action the picture portrays. If you have it, I might add a bit more room on the bottom of the frame if you have it! Great shot,
    Gail

    This is great young man! Always good to capture interaction between birds, and in Africa we have a lot of animosity between the scavengers, raptors and little feisty birds like the drongos...
    Light handled very well, as well as DOF...
