Dinner with a view. Did you know that sloths eat just before sunset time? I always wonder if that is dinner or a late lunch.
They barely move during the day so I never expect them to pose for a photo and specially at sunset but it finally happened. The photo is way under exposed but thanks to the RAW file and the outstanding quality of the drone camera I was able to get this much light out.
I hope you like it.
