•  Support - My point: This isn't a super-zoomed photo of a single bird, so it can't compete in that respect with pictures in which we can see every feather, but it shows the birds in their habitat, and I like the shapes of the tree branches as well as those of the vultures and consider this a very good composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:57, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose Great idea, but the cropped branches bother me. Daniel Case (talk) 22:25, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

  If I had don't cropped the branches, so you only see only more uninteresting blu empty sky ... ?!? The valture are the main object. OK, this is only my opinion. Thanks for your voting. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:36, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose Certainly QI but the composition looks rather random to me, the leftmost bird being so close to the frame while there’s plenty of room to the right. Maybe a crop would emphasize the birds sufficiently to make up for the cut branches (for not fitting into the frame there’s just too much of them visible). Pity most of the birds’ heads are in shadow. --Kreuzschnabel 05:22, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Wnn Du in der Sonne bist, so würdest auch Du Deinen Kopf im Schatten halten, wenn möglich. Das tun die Geier auch. Ferner ist dieser Anblick eh nur früh in den Morgenstunden zu sehen. Späten Vormittag, Mittags und frühen Nachmittag sind die Geier irgendwo komplett im Schatten zu finden. Aber auch hier Danke für Dein Voting. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 06:57, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
    •  Comment Du brauchst deine Arbeit nicht zu verteidigen ;-) Wenn ich zu einem Bild sage, was mir daran nicht gefällt, dann ist das als ehrliche Rückmeldung zum Bild selbst gemeint und nicht als Vorwurf an den Fotografen im Sinne von „das hättest du besser machen können“. Manchmal erlaubt das Motiv selbst halt kein perfektes Bild, damit müssen wir leben. --Kreuzschnabel 06:20, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

  +1 daher dankte ich Dir auch für Deine Meinung. All is OK. Best regards, --Alchemist-hp (talk) 07:17, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose I don't like the cropped branches, and the lighting is terrible, with dark birds against a bright sky. Well done otherwise but the lighting makes this unfeaturable for me -- Thennicke (talk) 14:21, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
