Ominous. Triggers an immediate response of fear and caution from me. Great silhoutte.

Looks like a very ominous bird in black silhouette.

Threatening no doubt. Love how the lack of details add to the mystery.

Now this definitely brings to mind a horror movie...old, scary, with that pending doom music in the background. Great shot Craig.

Very cool shot. Without the beak it would be a blob but that little detail defines it.
Vultures just don't get the respect they deserve :-)

A very dark and threatening image - nicely processed.

i agree with MadScientist, this is "halloween-ish"... can't wait to see what your idea is.

nice shot. looks like a statue or something you'd find on the side of an old gothic architecture-style building.

@Lilly: I agree that they are ugly; but, I find your comment strange.
