Hi Ed, interesting behavioral scene of vultures doing what they do. The crop is okay - I could see a version with a bit less room on bottom. I’m noticing what I am thinking is motion blur on some of the birds. 1/160s is pretty slow shutter speed for subjects moving even a bit. Thinking in this bright light, shooting at say f16 with a faster shutter speed could have given the DOF needed as well as froze the birds.
A good documentary shot of their feeding behavior. I could see a tighter crop as well.
That makes sense @Allen_Sparks and @Allen_Brooks. Thank you.
Hi Ed. Nothing to add to the information above. A nice behavioral image.
Hi Ed
I think I agree with Allen Sparks on the motion blur. You could drop for f22 to f11 and that would change the shutter speed for 1/160 to 1/640. Using a Canon 100-400 with the 7DMll the affect reach of the lens is 640mm. I have found that lens to be very sharp at f8 to f11.
