    Back from Israel and Greece. Only got a couple chances to do bird photography in Israel, but saw a few vultures. This shot was a bit underexposed so its a bit more noisy than I would like, but still my first vulture shots.

    Impressive bird and wingspread with nice underwing detail. The sky looks to have a purplish cast to it.

    Comp looks good and you have some nice details on the underwings which isn't always easy in these cases when the feathers are so dark.

    I agree with Artie's take on the colour of the sky, and it is an easy fix. I like the gliding pose and nice details. I do wish for less "frame" and more actual photo canvas.
