The lighting is pretty bad, too heavy shadows on the birds, too bright at the top. I've added a quick adjusted version, but just at 800px size to show how lighting could be improved - it's still not ideal, not sure that it can really be recovered perfectly. Also cropped it for better composition.
228:, the exposure was fixed for the background not the foreground. A blown background, I would support, but not a overly pushed foreground for vultures! Why this may not be easily reproducible in North America, Australia, or Europe, it is super reproducible in Africa. Sorry. --

here's a version I edited and am happy enough with. Various adjusts: levels within the shadow specifically, saturation tweaks, downsampling. The "adjusted" version is far too small. Edit 1 is far too over sharpened. Forgive me for shrinking them a bit...

Great capture; I love the look of the stooping vulture. However, heavy noise reduction leaves the image unsharp and strangely textured. The bright grass at the top also cuts into the picture, distracting from the birds.
211:
Yep, OK. Perhaps I wasn't very clear in my original comment, the 'Adjusted' version was never meant for voting, which is why I didn't call it an 'Edit'; it was just a demo. I've modified the caption. --

This picture illustrates the feeding habits of vultures as these vultures are shown in the process of eating a dead wildebeest. I also like the omnious look of the vulture in the middle.

I uploaded an edit (edit 1) the picture looks sharper now but there is still some technical flaws with the image, such as the slight fringing on the vulture in the top right

It lacks sharpness at full resolution, not sure if this because of focus or camera shake.
