Turkey Vulture and crop choice (again)?
Sorry for not being as involved; had some issues to deal with at work and home; just now getting back to posting ....
For your C&C, I have a Turkey Vulture that I caught a few weeks ago. The head pose is less than ideal, but I did like the puff-up feathers, and for me I think I finally captured a pleasing OOF background. I took a few different photos, and selected this one to post. But I was torn between what I caught as a full pose, and doing just a chest/head pose. I ended up choosing the chest pose, but will include the full pic for comparison purposes.
Chest pose:

The full pose:
Attachment 162790
Details: Sony a77, Tamron 150-600, 600mm a f6.3, 1/1600, ISO 640
In LR CC: Increased Exposure +.83, Contrast +12, Shadows +12, Blacks +33, and Clarity +21
Ran through Nik DFine to reduce noise (took default setting)
I know head angle is less than ideal, but would appreicate any other C&C, and whether or not you would have gone with the full pic as opposed to the chest-pic.
