Dos Synchros

Here are two buzzards (with bunny cropped out just under the left bird's legs). Best Viewed Large. :)

I decided b&w processing for this shot. I loved one in focus and the other not, but they synchronized their movements quite a bit during the shoot. To see one up close, go to my 365 album. Here is the link: http://365project.org/darylo/365/2013-04-29

@wind_of_the_sothern_sea I don't even know what it is! I'm soooo behind everyone these days. I love themes too. Will take a look.

Great shot ! ..... and love the B&W processing. Works perfectly. Glad you cropped out the meal. : ) Wouldn't be as appetizing as your own food shots. LOL

[Vee]

Yes, glad you cropped out. Nice composition!

[Daryl O'Hare]

@foxsparrow Thanks. I was thinking I do need to do more food shots--when I started on 365, I was convinced it would be about 80% food shots (I'm such an avid foodie). Then I looked out my window. :)

@vskolnik Thanks Vie! Per @wind_of_the_sothern_sea , I've put it in the weekly theme--wow, I saw what others are doing--amazing work on here! I'm glad the crop worked well because I loved the two birds in their synchronized stances.

@vskolnik Vee, not Vie. C'est la vie! :)

super symmetry. Great composition.

[Lisa]

Looks great in b&w - love the symmetry in this shot! : )

[Jacqui Paterson]

Lovely shot and processing. What a find. I love how they are both looking the same way.

[Daryl O'Hare]

@judis Thanks Judi--They really moved in like synchronized swimmers--it was a little weird.

[Daryl O'Hare]

@rennes THanks Lisa! I was pleased with the mono effect!

[Daryl O'Hare]

@witchyjacq It was weird, but I'm thankful the bunny cropped out did not make it hard to process!

[Susan]

Love this! They are so perfect that I thought it was the same bird! Great job!

[Nicole]

beautiful in monochrome with them both looking the other way!

[lunaksi]

Great composition - fantastic capture!

[Daryl O'Hare]

@squamloon Thanks!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Thanks for sparing us the dead bunny. haha These guys are so creeepy! I see them alot right now....one was near my school, dragging a dead bunny off the road onto the shoulder to eat it . Yuck, but cool pic!

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Thank you for cropping out the bunny! I've gotten quite fond of buzzards and these are a lovely pair,

[Daryl O'Hare]

I try to leave out gore when I can. I haven't had the good fortune to see them up close in a year now. I do see them flying, though, with those amazing wing spans!
