    Interesting capture. Few problems with it thought. You caught them with their back to ya. Iw ould have moved to the other side of the pole. The capture is a tad underexposed and you lost the shadow details. You could have done a positive Ev adjustment whne oyu took the shot or you could have tried to bring out the shadow detail in your post work.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I like shots like this. Turkey vultures lack a syrinx - the avian equivalent to our larynx - so I appreciate the irony of seeing them at rest on a telephone pole! :D

    Actually, Harry, the TV's are facing the camera. It's hard to tell because there is so little shadow detail. Wineman, as Harry said, I'd bring the shadows up a bit so we can see some detail.

    I hope you don't mind, I made a 2 sec adjustment to demonstrate...

    No problem. I'm still learning, too! :D

    I'm actually quite fond of turkey vultures, and have taken dozens of pictures. Because their bodies are so dark, they can be difficult to expose for. Just gotta keep trying...

    learning
    We are ALL still learning
    especially in digital
    great pic but, I agree, from the other side would have been better
    but that is easily said, not necessarilly so easily done.

    If shot from the other side, you would have gotten more of the backs, and also less of the faces.
