This picture screams Africa!! The comp works with the lion offereing some balance at left. Even if the tail is cut rather than clipped it still would have been cool to have the full tail. I'm OK with the cut legs. Vulture is very sharp as posted, and i love the pose. Of course, the habitat is very neat too.

Stephen, the thumbnail does not justice to this....its a fantastic shot. Loved the sharpness of the vulture and the BG separation. BG is blurred and yet has right amount of details. Lion makes it very unique. I'd like to see the feet. Do you have them in the orig? Even if you dont have, this is an awesome shot.
