The Vultures are Circling

They smell blood and come in for a look.
I'm not dead, I'm very much alive.
But closer they come. They want a taste.

I always have a sense of foreboding when a vulture soars overhead. Such creepy things. I also always try to look lively.
Fear not - you are much bigger than them. Nice shot.

Great comp.

Wonderful! Always good to look lovely especially with 2 or 3 around! Hahaha

They are so incredibly graceful in the way they soar and glide. Great shot. It really captures that. Curious what went into your decision to letterbox it. It looks good, but I'm undecided whether I like it better than if you hadn't.

@mcsiegle Tried with and without and preferred it this way. It added drama and tension.

Awesome shot

So dramatic in silhouette!

Great shot Amanda, it sure gives a senses of of foreboding.

Super shot - love your composition.

I can quite understand the feeling a vulture would give. Great shot though

Lovely silhouette

I actually love Vultures. They rarely kill, but rather, their meals are already expired. So they do their part in helping with the clean up!! With that said, lovely capture, Amanda. Love the silhouette and processing suits the shot and POV.

Very wise thing to do and I bet looking lively is not hard for you :) Love the processing!

Great shot, tones

But what is dead out there that the vulture can see?? Probably they can smell too! Dancing in the street helps too!

You know, I get that same sense of foreboding when I see a bunch of these black beasts circling over head. It can only means something's had a bad day down on earth... lol about you making a point to look lively.

Great negative space shot!
July 14th, 2015  
Simply beautiful :)

Cool processing, they are rather mean looking creatures, aren't they!
July 14th, 2015  
Super negative space composition... I believe that there is a challenge out there, right now, for such a shot. In the meantime, dance, or fog a mirror, or something! :)

Perfect, lovely choices all round and ominous atmosphere x

Lovely

Beautiful silhouetted bird.

It's OK Amanda.. carrion is what they are after and I do believe that you are very much alive and kicking! This does have a touch of menace though. I like it.
July 14th, 2015  
Great shot.
July 14th, 2015  
Great editing, maybe you didn't look alive enough.
July 14th, 2015  
Fabulous comp and processing - big fav!
July 15th, 2015  
Great shot and post-pro!
July 15th, 2015  
Beautiful shot....great negative space (isn't there a technique challenge going on right now with negative space?)....just keep looking alive and they won't get you!!

Both a cool and creepy shot especially with your commentary!
