Mital Bhai, Nice image quality here and I love the look back pose. BG is nice with the blue/green split and I like the perch. Only suggestion would be to remove the twigs touching his breast and the one in the bottom right corner. Congrats

Your beautiful capture of this vulture has turned an ugly bird into a very Regal and handsome bird ,love all the detail .I think i would remove those sticks in front though

[Dave Blinder]

Agreed on removing twigs. Great exposure and lighting Mital. I'd probably get rid of the twig coming from the lower right side of the frame as well.

Another vote to remove the twig...beautiful pose,angle,eye contact!

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Mital....interesting shooting angle. Makes it different. Liked it a lot. No wonder its called 'pharaoh's chicken'.

[Steve Maxson]

Ditto on removing the twigs mentioned above. Otherwise, very nice comp, exposure, and sharpness, Mital.

Mital, I like the lighting and the color tones. Another vote to evict the twig. I do like the perch, nice capture. Well done.
