Nubian Vulture landing at kill site, Maasai Mara, Kenya. Canon 500mm f/4 L IS lens with EOS 1D Mark II. ISO 400. Evaluative Metering +2/3 stop set manually: 1/1000 sec. at f/8.

When you are on safari, be on the lookout for kills on mornings when you have the wind and the sun together. The placement of the o-o-f zebras in the frame was entirely serendipitous.

All comments welcome. Best and love, artie

ps to all: the quality of images on now being posted on NSN is truly mind-boggling... Congrats to all involved.

Artie,

Very cool shot with the head on view. It might even work well with a more extreme pano crop by taking the sky off of the top.

Love those razor sharp wing tip feathers and funky feet. What's with those foam rubber leggings? :mrgreen: Hope your knee is healing up.

Nice one Artie. Can't say I like the zebras, but do love the head on pose and extended talons.

Hey artie---in regards to your ps above---see what you got started! Thanks for your pioneering work. I know there's been others, but you I feel brought bird photography to the level it is today. Thank you..... Paul

Artie, you da man! The head-on pose and spread talons are fantastic. Not only do I happen to like the Zebras, I feel they really help me visualize where this image was made, in a subtle way.

BTW, thanks for the Bosque guide - full of great info....even packed with amazing photos (imagine :roll: ).

Was this done from a vehicle window? Tough for flight shots, isn't it? Nicely done! :) I would have not noticed the Zebras unless that you mention it.
