SCARY Beaarded-Vulture

[J van Noordwyk]

Hi to all off U's
Visited Giants Castle last week for the 2nd time in 3 weeks and picked this as my favorite image from both trips.
I just love the aggressive look,pose and bg. I dont mind the wing blur and head position.
On the image I removed sum unwanted stuf from the left side,corp+-80%,run a few NR's on the BG and sharpend the bird

Oh, my, scary indeed! Cool pose (although I do wish the bird's beak was separated from the wing a bit). Good techs and I think the wing blur enhances the feel.

the pose is very dynamic and light is nice but too bad the IQ is not there...looks like you had to sharpen the head area a lot

Wow, amazing capture and pose!

My only concern is the beak and head are not very well defined from the wing. It took me a few seconds to actually find the beak.

Wow, that's a very scary looking guy! Like the expression on face and eye.
