Default Vultures Sunning on sub-zero Morning

Caught these guys sunning themselves on someone's roof on a 15 F morning:

Well the sun may work for the vultures, but not for the photo. The photo is looking cluttered with the bright tree branches, bright roof and vultures. The vultures are also not in a prominent position in the frame...

You may want to give this shot a crop and maybe selective coloring and see if it makes more impactful picture.....its not everyday that we see vultures sitting so close !!!!!

Good Morning kirbinster,

Exceptional capture you have here. For me, this is unique to see vultures hanging around a residence.

The element of this photo that causes me distraction is the large amount of roof structure. That leads me to asking you if you have given any thought to cropping some of the roof from the bottom?

Exif?

I did think about cropping some, but if I did that I would either end up with a strange aspect ratio or have to loose the bird on the left - did not really want to do either.
