Hi Bruna. Thank you for the guidance, greatly appreciated. I took the shot into Photoshop and replaced the sky, worked on the areas indicated, changed the crop, placed a bit of light in the eye. Tiltled – Lonely sky.

Len, this image works much better. However, with birds, you need to keep a close eye on the different colours of the feathers. Some of the colours are spilling over to the background.

Hi Len, what f/stop did you use to capture this image?

F5,6 ISO400 at 195mm. 1/250sec. Light was bad but I had also got lazy as it was late in the day and let myself down.

Thank you, Len. The problem you were having here involves your 160-600mm lens. Follow our weekly discussion about the Pros and Cons of long telephoto lenses.

Beautiful composition. Len Exposure is spot on, Sharp where it matters most, and beautifully broken towards the background. Well done; keep up the good work.

We’ve always enjoyed using slow shutter speeds to create impressionistic/abstract images of birds in flight. The white birds against the dark backdrop work well. However, have you tried enhancing the contrast slightly by brightening the whites and darkening the shadows just a bit more?

Thank you for sharing your beautiful images with us, Len. Regarding feedback, let’s start with the White-headed Vulture: It is as sharp as possible, and you perfectly captured the detail in all the different-coloured feathers.
