Buzzards at Big Sur
I have been following all of your work but haven't posted in a while. I am trying for a little humor in this shot.

I used the procedure described by Darwin Wiggett for posting to NPN. But the image quality just doesn't look right.

Your comments are appreciated.

the vultures could use a bit more detail but the alignment looks really cool and they do seem to obey the NO sign:o)

best, Dennis

Roland,
I think the humor has been well accomplished. Best Regards.

Ha! That is funny Roland. I followed one of Sandy Steinmen's links and learned they're heads have no feathers so they can shove their head up their carcass's cavities. Since the sign is important to getting the humor it would better if it could be seen a little more easily or faster. Maybe zooming slightly more might help that.
