Not the prettiest or most colorful of birds, but he serves a purpose in the grand scheme of things. Wish there had been more light for the eye, but I'll take it!
Kerry, I love vultures I think they are very interesting-colors and detail look good-agree about eye. I see a little noise but not much- I would prob. give more room in front- Good job! I like it alot!!
I like it very much. I like the two tone background with the soft hues. I do see a little bit of noise, which can easily be fixed, would give your subject just a tad more room to the left of the frame. Need to open up the mid-tones around the eye area and give it just a slight sprinkle of selective sharpening...good show...:cool:
Nice Job Kerry. You must have been pretty close! I like the colours and feather detail, a bit more room would be nice, and I am not sure if a bit lighter shade on the neck area would bring out even more detail. Very interesting looking bird. Nice one.

Agree with pretty much all of the above comments Kerry. You can always bring out the eye a bit more in PS. Would be curious to know why you chose spot metering and like Harold, what you metered off of.
Thanks for the feedback all. I had hoped that the spot metering would get the dark feathers exposed correctly, but it did underexpose a little. The image is barely cropped, so the spot was centered on the bird. I simply forgot to set the exposure compensation for this situation. I saw a lot of different birds and situations that day and just wasn't keeping up!
