 Don't blame me! It was my husband's idea! he came home the day after the challenge was announced and said that he had a good demotivational poster shot--a buzzard was eating a squirrel. And he was very brazen about it. He would move only slightly when a car would go by.

Anyway, here I sit in my car on the side of the road (I should have gotten down at buzzard level, but I was trying to hide in the car. my neighbors already think I'm strange for lying in the middle of the road when it was raining, taking a picture of a teddy bear (forgotten challenge). I really couldn't be seen lying in the middle of the road, in the rain, taking a pictures of a buzzard ripping the guts out of a squirrel.

Anyway, I hope it wasn't too gross for you--I had ones that were much worse, but I just couldn't do any of those.

My husband also thinks that my wording isn't pithy enough. Oh well, we'll see how it does!

Like the photo, set up and layout but the caption doesn't really de-motivate me.

Nice details on the vulture. The reds are a little oversaturated for me.

Gruesome but true? Capture conveys the reality very well.

Great image, title, phrase combination for this........just a shame I am currently eating lunch

The depth of field is good, the image might be a little contrained by the crop, but you have met the challenge well, and the pverall presentation is also good

That's what estate sales are for.

Hindsight being 20/20, I should have turned around and gotten that similar shot I saw. (No vote, comment only)
