Thats what he reminded me of when I focus on him. Its a adult egyptian Vulture, I tried hard on the eye, but they have real dark eyes and even with light directly in their eye its difficult to get detail, I have tried to lighten to top part of the eye to get some depth.
spec: 1/4000, F.5.6, ISO 400, -1/3

Great detailed close-up Kiran!
The soft light, sharpness and BG make this one for me and I would try to lighten the iris some.
another terrific image ,

Kiran, Very beautiful feather details and sharpness. The BG adds to this.
Pin sharp with great detail colours & light.:)
Aptly titled. Other then the very minor issues with the eye it's pretty dang good.
I might tone down ever so slightly the feather thats above " It's a adult ".
You consistently post excellent images and I look forward to them.
A real beauty Kiran. A good study of an Egyptian Vulture's head as well as how good that 500 and the 1.4 can be in the right hands!
Kiran:
Nice techs, BG and composition. I like the rect. crop because of the head shape.
Somehow a "dead" looking eye seems appropriate for this species.

Agree with the name u have given him. Brilliant exposure here . Nice details .
Lovely portrait Bhai:) We used to have them here in SA but they disappeared in the 1920's as a breeding species, only occasional sightings these days. Lovely head angle, light and sharpness.
Kiran....liked everything about it. the feather details and the texture of face have come out very well. Well done.
Love the pose, demeanor and detail ... having he pupil would have been nice but does not detract IMO, Sweet image of a cool bird !!!
Well, nice photo. This portait is powerfull...
