    Superb pose and bg Loukie. With some TLC this will be exceptional. (some nr on the bg and some smoothing on the top as the processing line is visible just above the wing tips, across the whole frame. Some halos present too), but both minor and quick fixes). Pose and detail in the bg make this a shot well worth a tickle. TFS

    Great light and posture Loukie. I think David covered the minor points well.

    I like the banking angle Loukie, and this too, pops from the BG. I feel this is maybe oversharpened, and there is a strong halo around the vulture.

    Great pose, light and feather details, Loukie. Agree on the sharpening.

    Great pose and exposure. Halos and oversharpened have been mentioned. Really love the OOF but still recognizable background. JR
