Morkel - I like this one quite a bit more than your last one. I think it does a better job of telling a story. The outstretched wings of the vultures on top give the image a bit more of a dynamic feel, which definitely adds to the drama of the capture.
This one is really working for me, Morkel, much more so than the last one. This one really depicts a story whereas the last one I honestly wouldn't have known the vultures were sitting on a carcass unless you had told me. This turned into a feast!
Excellent behavior shot in B/W.Very nice to see so many together in beautiful panorama-crop composition.
White spots of sky in BG are looking little bright on my monitor.
Morkel, I agree with the above comments. I really like the B&W presentation. Some how it seems appropriate to render vultures in monochrome. If you have it, I might be inclined to show more space at the bottom so the clipped vultures are fully shown.
Prehistoric and wonderful. But Andrew has nailed the very big problem: cutting off birds and feet on the bottom frame edge.... I am guessing that you do not have any more room down there.....

Artie/Andrew - I think this is FF at the bottom, but I might be wrong so will have to check the RAW file again...
