    These lappet-faced vultures were two of many awaiting the permission of a black-backed jackal to enjoy the remains of a freshly killed bluewildebeest in the Kgalagadi Tranfrontier Park in South Africa... (the predator never returned, but we saw some BIG lion spoor the next morning) It was obvious that they were sorting out their hierarchy for the big feast...


    Equipment: Canon 7D and 500mm F4 L lens with 1.4x converter
    Settings: 700mm, 1/2500s at F5.6 and ISO 500

    Nice action and poses. loved the dust in the air. Exposure looks good. Some selective sharpening might help. If mine, I'd take some off the top.

    Well done...awesome shot.

    Killer action and nice warm light. Love the dust that's been kicked up.
    Very cool shot.

    You should get an award for the title of the shot. Good story in the image.

    Lovely action shot with the nice warm light and dust being stirred up. I really like the dof keeping both birds in focus and lots of detail.

    Another vote for Dave comments...excellent IQ, great action, DOF...looks a bit like they're fighting over that little clod of dirt by the centre bird's toe. Love it!
