    Both good compositions although a much tighter look would be good too.

    I prefer the exposure of the first image.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    What the heck, is this a condor? A vulture, anyways. Interesting that you caught him like this.. I've always got the feeling that they're weary of humans except when they have to move in for food.

    The green makes me long to be back at the east coast. It's just so brown out here in the semi-desert.

    Good DOF, nice stretch by the bird. It's not a prize winning capture because the fence is sort of pedestrian, but it's a neat fellow and you don't see these guys that often.

    Looks like a buzzard to me. I agree with MB. He usally nails the crop. Nice work Tyson

    I prefer the first one. You caught it at just the right moment.
