    Found these guys to be among the more beautiful vultures we have . He was perched on a stick just next to a pride of 14 lions . One lioness was getting irritated with him and did chase him off . Lucky , I could take a few shots before that .

    Camera : 1D Mk III
    Lens : 600mm f4 IS
    Aperture : f8
    Shutters : 1/1000
    Spped : ISO 200

    Cheers ,
    Rakesh

    I like the composition, lighting and the matching colors of the bird and the background.
    The highlights around the legs look a bit hot on my screen though.

    Very nice. A tighter crop would be better IMO.

    Sweet light. I wish the head were turned a bit more this way. I'll second Alan's suggestion of a tighter crop.

    Rakesh, good feather detail, and overall nice and sharp. I really like that BG. Maybe a little off the right.

    Hi Rakesh I like the detail captured and the lovely light as well as the BG. I would consider toning down the legs.
