These are really haunting.
Like the tones of the 'portrait' shot. :)
Great lens you have. |

I like the fact that they are social critters, if you miss one, the next will be wandering into the frame pretty soon. Granted they aren't the social set you want to hang with if you get in trouble out in the wilderness, but as long as you don't have to dine with them... |

after going through and voting on this challenge.... I'd have to say that vultures are actually well represented. of course it seems everyone likes ducks and geese better.

Actually I think vultures are a fairly easy bird to photograph. They are so big that you don't have to get as close as with smaller varities. And if you find a group when they have just begun to feast on a carcass they won't be so quick to fly away. And if you do scare them off, back away a little and wait, they'll return.

Here is a vulture I took a photo of on my way to work a while back. It would have been perfect for the "Naturally Framed" Challenge, but it wasn't within the time window. I went back several times, but never saw another sitting in the same place.

thanks for the comment on my Turkey Vulture sfalice. But it gives to a question. How do you know it's a "he"? ;>)

Hmmm, guilt by association? The only other vulture I have seen with that much detail was named "Vladimir" and he was a "he". But now that you mention it, your bird does have pretty curvaceous lines... |
