There were no fever than 5 to 7 juvenile Bearded vultures circling at any one time, all they did was watch the goings on with their beady red eyes.

The eye contact, BG colors and the wing tips flicked up are all great. The eye is amazing.
I would lighten the image just slightly as it looks slightly dark.

The repost looks much better. Wonderful head angle clearly showing the "beard" and the riviting red eye. Nice gliding pose and beautiful BG. Nice capture!

great flight shot. I like the diagonal line formed by the wings. the red eye is amazing. I wish it had a little more room on the left.

Wonderful image. The wing position and eye contact are super. While I think the second post is better, to my eye it is too bright. I know - you can't win!!

Great shot Loukie. Love the symmetry between the angle of the wings and the BG (?clouds ?shadows on the hills). I prefer the repost.

Thank you for all constructive crits, Desmond I asked the vulture to change the pose, I knew you wont like it, he simply said this is me. 2200 meters up, take it or leave it, sorry to disapoint you DEsmond.
