This huge, eagle-like vulture is an icon of the remotest mountain ranges in southern Africa. They are spectacular flyers, reminding one of giant falcons.

Pretty cool action and getting them both in the same plane of focus. Dave
Amaizing timing! I love the interaction, the colors, the fact that both birds are well on focus - astonishing shot :)
Lovely and powerful. The lights are excellent.
Good to see some other birds besides the North American ones :d

impressive birds, great light. no nits from me; great!
Excellent image Chris. Getting the great action, both eyes visible, everything in focus and a killer background took a lot of talent. Very impressive!!
I like it a lot! Great interaction, even though not very friendly :) - poses, details and BG. The composition works very well, too. My only wish is to be able to see the eye of the lower one a little better and a spread left wing, but that is nitpicking. :) As I said, great image!
Great shot Chris. Looks like the vulture hide at Giants in the morning! Brilliant light and the colours of BG and birds complement well - nice to have the bright red eyes showing well. Wondering how it may look with a little cropped from each side to a square format that would enhance the diagonal composition. Clutching at straws to make any suggestions though - fantastic image.
This is awesome, love the light and action. The BG goes very well with the image. Excellent capture!
quite incredable!!
Great action with lovely harmonius colors. Love it...
Wonderful capture of this midair action, and the background color perfectly compliments the birds. Razor sharp, and the composition is perfect. Wonderful to capture both birds in such great poses.
Grat action,very nice timing and the light is beautifull.Well done!!!!
Thanks for the comments guys:) Yes it was at Giant's Castle hide - what a fantastic spot for raptor photography:eek:
This is a beautiful image. I love the action and colours.
Great colors and great timing!!!
