I don't wanna know how you got that close to one of these ugly guys. Good focus on the eyes, but with the depth of field used you lost a little on his beak - which may have been intentional.

Not sure what a turkey 'volture' is :) but this one makes me laugh....... great expression and color... and the eyes being the most important here are in focus.

6 - Mainly for the potential and uniqueness. Criticism; difficult, would like to say the beak sharp too, but you'd lose the 'eye effect' - otherwise definitely 640 (in this case height) and perhaps a slight nudge rotation up on the left to 'straighten' (depending what you had to work with of course), and possibly a little more context incorporated 'somewhere', but not sure as, 'works' as is. Even sharper too on the focal points would also have given this extra. Good unusual capture.

eeeky! the dof is a bit too shallow and so most of the shot lacks a bit of focus imho

It looks like it is sticking out its tongue into the camera. I realize that it is the red beak, but it still strikes me as funny. I wish the beak were a bit more in focus.

Oh ugly little thing...

The light behind it is too bright. Either change direction so you're not shooting into the light or use fill flash and expose for the background.
