Squabbling guinea fowl

[davidedric]

Helmeted guinea (aka bush chickens) are common across sub-saharan Africa (and a few supermarkets). Usually, they wander around in flocks, and aren't the smartest birds around. Anyway, these two suddenly started a barney in front of us.

I should have upped the shutter speed (just didn't) and switched to multi-exposure, but I think I'm still conditioned by the film world. Anyway, I do like this shot. The capture is as it is (just been cropped a little from right and bottom), but any suggestions as to present or process it are very welcome.

Nicely composed and captured.

If you had an angle where the left side bird's head was in focus this would certainly have been an excellent shot. Still good to get this image of a real life fast action scene though.

I like this image. If it were mine, I would think about adding a subtle vignette...
