African White-Backed Vultures

I'm interested in what I could do to improve this photo? I'm new to photography, and still learning the basics.

There is something about this I like a lot. If the branches at the bottom and top right of the frame could be removed, it would help to direct the eye toward the birds and add to the minimalist feel of the photo.

Thanks! I'll have to see if I can learn how to do that.

Not bad, but the angle could have improved a bit and the lighting.

I like the lighting. It adds a foreboding element to the photo. The vulture's face in shadow hurts it a little, but not completely.
