This KV gave me a look like saying ``you talking to me?´´ this last November while shooting from a blind in a friend´s property in the Caribbean lowlands.

I think I liked your other one better, although this one is a bit more unique. Great looking vulture and you've really made the bird pop with terrific details against a super BG

Juan, you've captured a very engaging image! A very colorful, and interesting, subject, in front of a wonderful background. It is definitely staring straight at me! Love the balance, and particularly the placement of the head at a power point. The various colors and textures of the feathers is so interesting. Everything is sharp. And those eyes! A wonderful image.

Fascinating subject. My eye kept moving about the bird's face enjoying the interesting details.

Superb detail and colours Juan, how they manage to keep there plumage in such pristine condition amazes me, it's a beauty.
