Vulture stretching

[Sabyasachi Patra]

I had never seen a vulture stretch like a dog or tiger. Unfortunately I was facing the shadow side of its face.

Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM, EF 2xII, f5.6, ISO 400, 1/640, full frame image.

Look forward to your comments and critiques.

Cheers,

Bingo! Vertical composition looks better than the first one. This pose may have looked better from the side angle. Superb capture this is...

A very peculiar behaviour captured. Had never thought it might be stretching this way. Agree the vertical composition looks better. Thanks for sharing.
