Yes...I love it Steven.Their faces are amazing,in fact quite comical,especially the one behind.
I don't think I've even seen these ones before.
Quite unlike the grubby unkempt vultures we usually associate with carrion.These look quite clean,and colourful.
Great shot.Thanks.

Hello Stephen,

How wonderful these vultures are!

Not at all as ugly as the ones I am familiar with.

Great details, colors, POV, and lighting in this shot.

The BG of the second vulture (with the neck that seems to go on forever) is a delightful touch to this amazing photo.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

I definitely like this shot. the expression of the one in the back is priceless. very good exposure. TFS!

Hi Steven,
It's a good POV and pose. Nice colours and good details.
You have a great equipment.
Very well done.

Superb poses and composition Steven! Vulture on BG looks very funny and rather silly ;-)))

Hello Steven, This very nice with these two curious pose's in the same shot. Very good detail, colors and exposure. As Gert says, great camera..It will be the next one I purchase. Well done and welcome to TN.

I'm not sure what they are thinking...possibly food thoughts. No matter, you have caught their character very well. Beautiful

Hi Steven, a very striking photo. I like the composition and the angle of the perch. Colors very nice but the focus and DOF realy not the best especialy with a 20D. Could realy have been a winner if it was not for the above. Keep on trying.
