Hitching a Ride (Buffalo)

[Bryan Pereira101 25]

This chap was quite happy to offer a ride in exchange for some free tick removal by the ox pickers. They do however also up wounds which isnt such a good thing.
I got a few shots with the birds in flight as well, could have done with a brighter day had to push the iso.

Nice one.

The lighting was probably better this way. The shadowing, especially under the neck, rolls off nicely.

for sure the African sun can be super harsh and contrasty
