    this is total cracker sabby. stand out really well with the bg tone. the angle lower than the vulture is just fantastic.

    I like the stare, soft light and BG. I might give it a bit more room top and right and maybe lighten the eye except the pupil.

    Terrific sharpness and detail. Definitely needs more room on the right.

    Love the pose and details. I'd lighten the iris a bit and a little canvas on the right. Who says you can't get sharp images with a 2x?

    Sabya, this is amazingly sharp, and just love the feather detail. I made a comment on a previous image of yours regarding their beaks. Well, this sure is one mean beak too. I agree, adding to the right will work. Well captured.

    I echo Axel's comments regarding space around the bird and lightening the eye slightly. this is a stunning portrait and very sharp too!

    Superb portrait! I've never seen this type of vulture before. It looks majestic.

    Another vote for more room at the top and right and I like Axel´s suggestion about the eye. I would try to tone down the BG just a bit and I love the pose of the vulture :-)
