(Thanks everyone)
When I do animations like this in ImageReady (CS2) and post them, I just can't stop looking at them. They bring everything to life, being animated and all, lol....
I've got a few other photos with animations and this has to be my favorite even though the photo quality isn't the best:
This is probably my favorite of decent quality:

Very cool!

How do you get the King Vulture to come up so close? He or she is always in the back of the enclosure whenever I pass by.
Awesome composition and colors!

One thing, with a vulture coming at me like that I think I'd be checking my pulse... just to be sure!

I like this series. The bird seems to connect with the viewer through eye contact. Well done.

Wow! Great shot and very cool animation! These are probably the only vultures that can truly be regarded as beautiful and you captured that expertly. Stunning work as usual!

Great shot! I love viewing your pics and your comments because I enjoy the work you put into sharing other shots and now even an animation!
I feel like I'm at a gallery, sometimes. There's so much more to your work that it deserves some extra time in viewing. Thank you!

Terrific shot - the light is perfect, like he brought his own spotlight, and the color and pose are great. And the animation is terrific! (How did you do that?)
