I like the pose and the feather details. I think more details in the head would show up if you would apply a bit more sharpening to that area. I would also suggest toning down the beak, part of the leg and the talons. Composition-wise it's not too tight, but personally I would have left a bit more room in front of the vulture.
Thanks for sharing !
Agree with desmonds fine Critique - would also add some noise reduction to the background.
Keep them coming :)
Great pose and HA, William. Agree with Desmond's and Lance's suggestions. I find the shadow in the BG behind the tail a little distracting, though not terribly so. Well done.
Perfect critique by Desmond Sure like the pose and cropping Not and easy bird particularly the white on the bill !! Could try selecting the area by color and multiplying ... can do more than once if needed !!!
Al or anyone else...could you explain how to do this please or maybe a URL for a tutorial for how to do it.Originally Posted by Alfred Forns
Thanks to all for the C&C on this....it really does help.

Hi Bill,
http://www.birdsasart.com/bn269.htm Linear Burn or Multiply - try both!
I've used this technique a lot and it works very well. As Alfred said, you can use it more than once on the same area. Adjust the opacity to suit; it can be overdone.
Cheers!
Hi William,
A great catch...I like the feather details and color rendition...very good advise given...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
