W H Vulture and Fish Eagle scrap Pt2

[Marc Mol]

8.35am
We chanced upon a White-headed Vulture doing battle with an African Fish Eagle over an Impala foetus that a mother had aborted earlier.
Here the prey can be seen more clearly.

Excellent interaction wish the IQ was better.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Another superb interaction but as yesterday the IQ deters from the image for me... Thanks for showing us this Marc!

Marc,

Is this a large crop?

It does not make any sense to me as to why the IQ looks so bad, it looks much better, but not good when opened in PS.

Great interaction anyway

Around 30%, as stated Ken, for me (viewing on my cal monitor and resizing here for BPN, which is not always favourable) the IQ is slightly better in this image than previous, but critical focus is possibly a little short.
I hope it was only operator error .......and not the lens itself.
This is a story image first, quality a distant second.
