Im usually not the one to photograph against a blue sky as I find it makes for an uninteresting setting however there were a few clouds around to break the pure blue. Thank you for looking.

Hi a great looking image & I like the B/G alot.
Phil.
Thanks very much Phillip.
I have just noticed a dustspot on the bottom edge of the frame.
Wow, impressive bird, you've captured a fierce look there, i like the BG with cloudy breaks, a bit more wing would have been nice.
The really nice details in the head and neck along with the head angle and eye contact are what I like best about this image...not so much the wing positon and shaded body.
Great eye contact, sharpness and light here, BG looks very good.
I think I would open the image a bit to the left, move him a little from the center.
Hi Roberto, nice detail on the head. Just wondering if much of the black under the wing is blocked.
Great angle of view, head angle and sharpness. I like the look on the vultures face.

Thank you for the kind words everyone!
Yip, I wasnt too sure about the wing position either. Wish I had caught the Griffon a couple frames earlier for a better wing angle plus he looks to be almost flying out of frame. Gal, I will try your suggested crop. Katie and Ricardo, will play around with the underside for more detail. Thanks again everyone, appreciated as always!
