It looks majestic to me . I know there are some blown our areas, but this time I liked them as they contribute to the vulture´s dressing :-) .

Wow hes quite the looker José, how do you like the 80-400mm , i would like to upgrade my 70-300mm Vr in the future. Good capture :)

[Gus Cobos]

Very, very nice Jose,
I like the close up pose...my recommendation would be to open up the eye just a little, selective sharpen it more and tone down the hot whites on the feathers...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Glenn, 80-400 VR is a slow focusing lens (even tough in my D300 is aceptable now for me) and it ¡s also relatively cheap. I am too newbie to give you good advices on lenses, so hope you get better feedback in other thread :-)
Gus, thanks for the tips. I apreciate them a lot.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Nice portrait Jose, I like your head angle and black BG. Thought it was a little blue and toned down the highlights a bit.

Hi Jose

This is one tough bird to expose !!! I rather see detail in all the white areas Cropping wise wold include the entire white collar at the bottom Can't get enough of this bird !!!

Hi Jose - very Nice - very regal feel to it - agree with AL on the whites and the collar.
