Hi Dave

Fantastic... I love the position of the head and Tallons apparently focused on a target which I guess is about to be hit. Also nice colour coordination with the BG and the neck. This bird has obviously been to finishing school..

Great pose. Like the this well done. Good detail and exposure

[Anton Roos]

Excellent detail and pin sharp. Like the comp and posture. Great Bg and colours. Well done Dave.

[Mark Dumbleton]

Super stuff Dave. Great pose and that outstretched neck is great. Try town down the bright parts a tad - seem a bit too bright. Well done!

[Lorant Voros]

Fantastic pose, nice BG, detail. Congrats.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Neat pose and great BG. Not crazy about the light angle rendering the face in shadow. Looks like you are wanting to maximize your shutter speed with that high ISO!

[Art Kornienko]

Stunning dramatic pose and killer bg, more light on face would have been nice, love the positioning of the feet.

[Chris van Rooyen]

Nice posture and sharpness Dave, and well done in the difficult backlit conditions.

Dave, Great landing posture, shows off the aerodynamics very well. I like the extended neck and legs, and the vulture stands out nicely against the BG.
