I like this composition very well. We don't see too many photos of these guys around but I think their size and propensity to stay in large groups makes them appealling to photograph. The wing span/position and the fact that their heads are facing the same direction make this a well done shot..

Terrific! Composition makes teh shot, with the perch branches, the poses of the 2 birds, the beautiful blue sky, and the bit of green veg on the bottom.

Good pose and detail. Centering the wingspread really balances the photo. Excellent composition.

Nice comp! I like the spread wings & the over the shoulder look of the lower vulture.
