Looks like you had some pretty harsh light here, but you handled it well, Sandy. You really nailed that eye.

The light in Africa is a nightmare.. You can't just shoot for 2 hrs in the early morning and 2 hrs in the late afternoon.
All other light is bright, contrast-y, and wicked. You take what you can get!

Nice looking bird. The light didn't help you here. I've seen a few comments about the harsh light in Africa. It must be painful to go that far and photograph in light like this.

Sandy,
Wonderful shot. While we lament the light, we take what we can get. While touring, we can't shoot everything in the early morning and late afternoon hours. You may be posting shots from this trip two years from now.
