    D3s 200-400 1/1600 at F5.6 ISO 400. I had a good time one morning photographing these beautiful birds. They were feeding on a zebra carcass and they continued landing and taking off infront of us. My only wish.... that I had better light.... but these birds always seem to be seen when the light becomes harsh

    Hi Vivaldo, good landing pose with the extended neck and legs. Nicely separated from the BG, and would maybe tone down the lower half of the BG.

    Nice landing pose and look of concentration you were able to get out of this guy. Love the hint of habitat. Maybe a bit bright in spots due to the strong light, but lowering the midtones just a touch should work nicely...
