made this in overcast conditions, would have loved more space on the right but could not add more.This guys have brown feathers as Juvs that turn into white as the grow.

spec: 1/500, F 7.1, ISO 800, expo +1/3

canon 40D + 1.4TC

Love the PP on this Kiran, for a overcast condition, everything is masterly done here.

Dig the dark tones in this one Kiran and the raptors perch, man that's one ugly looking bird but that thought fades as I imagine how magestic it must look in flight.

As a personal touch I would have gone for a wider crop, to me the Vulture looks a little hemmed in.

Kiran, Nice pose and details. I like the mound it is perched on and the BG, the colors compliment the bird.

You really know how to get the best of the vultures.
Great image. The colors are very nicely composed here.
Perhaps bit more selective sharpening of the head?
Nicely done.

I like the pose and HA Bhai, and the detail in this is incredibly sharp. Good exposure throughout, and it should be easy to add canvas to the RHS, should you want to do it. Congrats on a fine image.

The subdued light works well here. Great pose, nice perch, and good sharpness. I'd add a sliver of canvas on the right.

Great image Kiran. I would add a little canvas on the RS but it is still a beauty!
