Not the prettiest bird out there. But in the right light with the right wing position, black vultures hold their own. This is another photo taken while wading in the water next to James Shadle's boat.

Nah, I 'd say black vulture looking great! Super detail in the dark plumage and nice pose

Doug,
This one looks good to me. Nice wing position, details and sharpness.

This is lovely, Doug. Beautiful light, pose and comp. Feather detail is great. If your vultures are anything like African ones, they look ugly at first glance but once you've seen them fly they are gorgeous.
I love de detail in this picture. also the colors are beautifuul and the position well choosen.
Great light, pose, details and composition. It could go a tad brighter for my taste.
I like the wingspread! Well positioned in frame too. What an ugly bird! (kidding) :)
Doug,
Perhaps not the most beautiful bird species, but this is a great looking Black Vulture.
So many Black and Turkey Vultures get beat up pretty badly.
All things being equal, the image you create will look the best, with the best looking specimen!
