Pretty ugly bald-looking bird. I like the softness of the background colors and how they offset the severe looking bird.

If I might say it, that's one elegant-looking vulture. I love the pose, bokeh, and DOF.

Very cool shot. Nice eye detail, love the colors too. I think Black Vultures are nice looking. But then, maybe I have a face only a mother could love too!:lol:

Hi,
very well exposed and sharp, love the catch light and BG, IMHO the DofF should cover his beak as it is one of the most powerfull features of this bird,

I concur. I was focused on the eyes and probably should have stepped it down a bit.
