By the very nature of what a Vulture is, it generally gives most people a visible shivver when they either see one or someone mentions one. They are carrion feeders and only feed on an animal already dead; hence the great circling flock riding the airwaves with such ease waiting for the last foot quivver. However as a meat eater, it is also considered a raptor in the same breath of the eagle, osprey or hawk.
In this image, I wanted to portray both aspects of this quite magnificent bird: the easy attitude of simple soaring and that bit of ominous foreboding we get watching them as they wait.
