These guys were headed towards a Giraffe carcass so I snapped a few images of this guy coming in. Crits appreciated

What a wicked cool pose, Dumay! Just love the one foot forward and the intent look. Beautiful light, and great sharpness. Just superb.

Great image Dumay! I like the pose, IQ, lighting, exposure and complimentary BG.

Hey mate, great incoming pose, sharp, and love the concentrated look on the head of the vulture. Separeated from the BG nicely, and lots to look at on those wings.

Man, you South Africans are nailing these vulture shots. I like the light and the splayed feet. The curved neck is really eye catching.
Good one Dumay,
Gail

Nice sharpness, details and DOF, Dumay.

Dumay you nailed this one, not at all easy to get these vultures in good light well done.

[Marina Scarr]

A killer pose here, Dumay. Nice light and I like how the bird blends in with the BG.

Thanks for all the kind words folks!
