By the very nature of what a Vulture is, it generally gives most people a visible shivver when they either see one or someone mentions one. They are carrion feeders and only feed on an animal already dead; hence the great circling flock riding the airwaves with such ease waiting for the last foot quivver. However as a meat eater, it is also considered a raptor in the same breath of the eagle, osprey or hawk. In this image, I wanted to portray both aspects of this quite magnificent bird: the easy attitude of simple soaring and that bit of ominous foreboding we get watching them as they wait.

Chris,
I see no one has made comment yet, so I will be first.
I love the BG texture you have applied and the gradient angles match the wingspread of the vulture.
I only wish the one object at right angles to the rest of the image was not there. The angle of the other two BG objects are very complementary to the composition.

When you apply amonia to a plate, it's impossible to predict an outcome....I always take what I can get and try to make it work the best for me. I might eventually replate this one for a better image area...

That's an interesting image Chris and I do so love experimentation with artistic elements, but maybe the ammonia plate background is a little too dominant? That's just my for my taste, which as we have seen before doesn't suit everybody!
