Description The rather ugly looking face of a vulture, "the kinda face only a mother could love" as my dad put it.
Personaly I like the detail around the eye.



(Please don't just say "thats nice". Please put some detail into what you think about my photo)

What I love about this picture is that this vulture looks incredibly proud and peaceful, and confident. Great expression, accentuated by the angle of your shot

Nice job!

I don't think it's ugly at all!
I like vultures very much because they are very important to the environment they live in and I think they are just beautiful and great!

I can't help but think of Necky (enemies in Donkey Kong Country) whenever I see a white headed vultures.

You should be able to do well with that.

if the subject is standing still, sure, high quality pictures are a breeze. But trying to catch a bird in flight, or one trying to take off. Not so good then.

Yes, I have many beautiful animals near my home and I wish to catch them in action. Mainly deer, birds and large cats. Some wild boar and exotics as well.

the detail is stunning, though. good job! is it a baby? it looks so tiny. or maybe that's just it's head.

No that dam vulture didn't stay still, but just long enough for my to take a couple of photos.

Once, a bird tried to poop on me, and another pecked my hand. Does that answer your question?

The clarity of detail around the eyes and beak is stunning, you've lost a little dof on top of the head but that doesn't make this any less than a wonderful capture

I agree with your comments i think the area around the eye takes the show. The reflection in the eye is cool too
