Cape Vulture - Here's watching you !!

[Victor Soares]

Quite enjoyed it when this guy just kept on staring at me as I fired off a succession of shots. One from my archives and shot with my old equipment:
Camera: Canon 30D
Lens: Caonon 100-400L IS USM
Aperture: f6.3
Shutter: 1/800
Focal Length: 400mm
All comments very welcome :)

The fact it's looking at you saved this image (because of the flying away aspect)!! Very funny...almost cartoonish.

[Stephen Stephen]

Victor, this fellow looks as if he's thinking about turning around to give you a piece of his mind.

[Robert O'Toole]

How different. Well that is something I havent seen before, It looks like hes checking you out as a potential meal ! How Funny.

I think the image could use a little more room around the bird. Light angle is a little off but it doesnt effect the impact of the image.

I can see the title of the next frame now: "Watch Out for that TREE! . . . Thunk!"

Way cool image.

Thanks everybody !! I agree with the space around the subject, but at these small sizes I would have "lost" the eye if I went any smaller. Cheers for now. Vic
