What a stunning portrait of this handsome bird. Terrific perch, pose and BG. The whole image just might benefit from a slight brightening (except for the two shoulder patches); but I just came in from outside so it may be my eyes. Otherwise, no nits from me.
Beautiful capture of this interesting looking vulture, Stuart. Like his perch which looks to be near the edge or in a forrest, and defused light poking through opening in the canopy.
Pretty darn cool perch. Vertical was the way to go and that comp looks nicely balanced. Great subject too. I do agree about going a touch lighter, and there is a bit of a clean up to be done on the cloning along the top edge. Otherwise top notch!
