I like the high contrast and the border on this shot, though the subjects don't hold my attention very long.

Vultures are funky looking birds, aren't they? Focus and composition are excellent. Not sure if you were going for the dark look because of how vultures are looked upon or not, but I think it adds to the appeal of the shot. Like the border, too.

Comment by macrothing:
8 - Excellent capture, colors, facial detail/texture and seemingly white/contrast control. Criticism; I want to say 'if only' that beak were sharp too, but likely lose the effect on the face/eye, so who knows. Like the contrasting 'softness' of the feathers around the head, but if just a bit sharper/more detail/texture on that skin around the eye (whether or not retaining the soft feathers or gaining more detail in them, either way still effective), as difficult as that might be (and this size doesn't help), likely make this even better in my opinion. Two small 'white' marks, one on the start of the beak and one just below, on the feathers, if natural 'ok', if not then perhaps cloning out or such. Possibly an even tighter crop on the left, although the context is good as is, may also have made this even better, who knows. Not sure on the frame, especially the color(s) and white 'inner'.
