    • 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. Unfortunately, the available natural light was an issue for you, which we sometimes struggle with. The Vulture is…Read More

      • 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.

    • Some advice: Remember to include your settings. To gain more traction from your posts, share them in a relevant community group and add the appopriate hashtags (listed on the group’s sidebar) to help us better filter the shots.
