Stephen:

I really like the interaction of the perched bird looking at the incoming bird. To bad the other perched bird isn't doing the same, would have been even better.

Sharp, well exposed, like the shadow of the foot on the rock.

Classic Giant's Castle BG

Light harsh as often the case there. Do you ever get overcast?

Cheers

Really nice action shot.
I like that the one bird is looking at you and not at the landing bird.
It gives it an almost "ho-hum" look, just another day in the life of a vulture.
The BG color is very nice.

I like the action and pink BG. I agree with Randy on the harsh light, and it has resulted in some hot spots on the birds that could be toned down.

Looking forward to more!

Quite the birds. Interesting how heavy and warm looking all those feathers appear.

I like the nice dof.

Very nice action/ interaction shot with lovely colours.

Hi Stephen, good sharp detail all round, and well timed for the incoming landing. I like the slightly tilted head of the vulture on the left looking at you. Cheers.
