Fantastic shot Craiger! It has an ominous look though.

You have given the scene an appropriate creepy quality.
28 Jan 2008 1:35am
Very dark. I love the mood of this shot.
28 Jan 2008 1:36am
I loved this moody shot too, the moment I saw it, in fact .............. but you took me to another place when I read your comment! Perfect. Clever boy.
28 Jan 2008 3:36am
Terrific!
28 Jan 2008 4:55am
This is a fantastic shot! What a mood! Great work, Craiger.
28 Jan 2008 6:25am
This one really sets the mood for these birds and for what they do. Sentinals of death.
28 Jan 2008 6:38am
Agree with all the above! Excellent shot, color and composition.
28 Jan 2008 6:55am
Cool. Definitely a throwback to the old 1930/40s era Universal Pictures monster movie series.

Love this photo with the menacing sky, but your comment is priceless, as if the politicians are the real menace! Maybe they are....
28 Jan 2008 8:52am
VERY dark and ominous... your comment lightens the mood in a most offbeat humorous way... VERY WELL DONE, Craig!!
28 Jan 2008 10:29am
ooooo spooky and moody...I like it and the commnetary too ; )
28 Jan 2008 10:41am
LMAO, ok the title and message are too funny!!!!! As for the image...WOW!! That is very moody and spooky at the same time. I am jealous of this one my friend.
28 Jan 2008 11:02am
@Dawn Sutherland: LMAO?? I'm not familiar with that one. That kind of dates me. Anyhow, the image was easy. I just played with a B&W gradient map. Thanks for your comment as always Dawn!
Wow! a wonderfully dramatic shot Craig. I have to agree with Dawn, title and message are brilliantly funny :D
28 Jan 2008 11:40am
Great image and processing. What about the Libertarian, Independent, and Green Party?
28 Jan 2008 11:53am
@Chris: Thanks Chris! Regarding your question: please see tomorrows image. Should clear things up!
Quoth the Vulture, "Nevermore" That is a terrific effect.
28 Jan 2008 11:54am
Thats just not fair, the only Vultures we have here are the Phone and Cable companies and none of them would make an image anywhere as nice as this ..... grrr.
28 Jan 2008 12:38pm
Magnifique !!! une scène digne des plus grands films d'épouvante ;o)))
28 Jan 2008 12:45pm
neat tones and silhouette. very moody and dramatic. just one thing that doesn't make sense--why are the democrats on the right and repubs on the left? agree with chris, where are the other parties? ;)
28 Jan 2008 3:30pm
What a beautiful and impressive one! I like it a lot.
28 Jan 2008 3:39pm
I have tried a couple times to get a good vulture shot but always came up short. You nailed this one.
28 Jan 2008 3:52pm
@Gary: Thanks! I've been trying for over a year as well.
Very nice and moody backlight shot. Well done
28 Jan 2008 3:55pm
Nice one Craiger. Love the dark mood.
28 Jan 2008 4:57pm
LOL! What an awesome pic! Very gothic looking...there should be a haunted house in the background. Great job! =-)
28 Jan 2008 6:25pm
Excellent !
Very Gothic, this works really well, did you use the lighting filter in Photoshop to get this great effect?
28 Jan 2008 7:07pm
@Richard_Irwin: Thanks! No, I just used a B&W gradient map and dodged the highlights behind the birds.
Very atmospheric - nice capture.
29 Jan 2008 1:21am
Really nice effect, mysterious and spooky!
29 Jan 2008 4:09am
This is really beautiful, such a nice composition.
30 Jan 2008 9:15am
good strong political message, this one is a winner.
31 Jan 2008 1:07pm
without taking any sides, huh. gives the jolt needed about politics, ideals and people.
