Enjoying the sunrise 2

This small group of Griffon vultures was obviously enjoying the quiet and peaceful sunrise (so do I :) ).

The photo is from May 2008, 9:10 AM. Bulgaria, Madzharovo.

Great capture...On Top Of The World...:eek::D I like it...I would suggest on cropping just a tad on top...:cool:

I like the selected crop very much, it shows the environment well. Some of the birds are in shadows but to me it does not detract as much as it should since the overriding factor is feel and that has been accomplished !!! I like it a lot !!!

Superb environmental image. Really display the vastness of the mountain cliff and their natural surroundings.

[Kaushik Balakumar]

Nice image. Good idea to have included the habitat. It really adds to the image.

Great setting and quite a lot of those vultures. I like it as presented.
