(Creativity) Vulture look

[Juan Aragonés]

Here is my contribution to the project of creativity. It is a big crop, about 25% of original frame. The original frame was shoot handholding the lens and I was not expecting thei vulture so close. I ended with a part of the left wing croped so I decided to make something different with this image in the computer. The things I like the most in this image are the white sky (it was an overcast day), the detailed and rich textures of the feathers and the eye looking at the camera, almost unnoticeable but clearly visible.
Comments and critics are highly apreciated :)

Interesting crop idea and topside view. It would be interesting to see what it looks like with the full near wing, in other words, more room at the bottom.

I was going to say exactly what Axel said; I'd like to see the full wing at the bottom of the frame. And I would like to see a bit more of the head.

[Juan Aragonés]

Thanks for your suggestions guys. Doug I agree with you about the head. My first idea was to made a crop without clipping the tip of primaries but I decided to go even far with a different composition. Here is a reprocessing file with different color balance, chromatic aberration in the primaries fixed and with the complete feathers. :)

Like the repost Juan. Would like to have seen a little bit more of the eye
