Well.... ummm... this is quite something. Interesting perspective, a bigger DOF would have helped, even though you got the focus every so nicely on the eyes. The light is rather harsh, but the whole thing is fascinating in a cute/goofy sort of way. 5

This is a nice picture, I'm just afraid that this will be voted down because of the size, you should use the 640 pixels that we are allowed to use in challenges.

This would be a terrific image if it was a bit more in focus.

More DOF would make this picture great. Tough to do with a long lens and animals though. Great effort 8

This is a fun shot. I just wish so much of its beak wasn't blurred. I'd like to see the yellow skin part in focus (I don't know what that is called :D). Also, it's a little blown out at the top. I'd like to see the prickly feathers standing out in sharp contrast to the background. I don't really like the way its head is blending in with background here. Love the eyes though. On an emotional level this is a really good shot. Also, be careful of your spelling (vulture is spelled with a 'u'). I don't mean to come off as a smartypants and I know people get in a hurry and get impatient with the process of uploading a challenge entry but there's something about mispelled words in entry titles that bugs me. It doesn't effect my voting of course but who knows what it does to voters on a subconscious level. It's worth getting as much right as possible in an entry. :D
