Turkey Vulture

[Dieter Schaefer]

This is my first post to this site - lots of names here that I recognize though.

This was the first time I got close enough to a turkey vulture to get some portrait shots.

Welcome, Dieter! Nice portrait, eye contact, exposure control and details. It is a bit tight in the frame for my taste, and would add some at the top. I might clone out the yellow spot left of the head. Keep them coming!

Whoa this is a hefty specimen, looks like it had lots to scavenge on :-) I too would clone out the yellow spot near the head, and I find the bird cropped a bit awkwardly at bottom. Maybe a vertical with more of the Vulture showing would be good (at least with some of the tips of the primaries showing).

Reminds me of my 5th grade english teacher... Yikes!

Welcome Dieter... Very good to see you here my friend.

Very nice portrait!
