Good macro study but needs contrast.

You really had me looking to figure out if this was an electric train set or the real thing. I'm going with electric trains.

I suspect that most of the comments about quality all boil down to having to zoooooooooooom, right? :)
Because, knowing where that was shot, I suspect he was in one of those trees on the land side, not peninsula side? I've taken eagle shots down there that ended up almost exactly the same!
I still like it though... it's not easy to get a good shot of these ugly mugs :D

Looks to be a overworked JPEG. When working in JPEG you need to make your adjustments, resize and save in as few steps as possible ( I try to do it in one step). Every time you open and close a JPEG it looses information.

I love the vibrant blue sky and the way it makes the vulture just pop, the angle makes this shot very dramatic. Great image, good luck!

I don't think the bird is very pretty looking.

Comment by kawana:
oof, oversharpened, over saturated. Seems like you were cropping too much out of the picture so it takes away from the quality.

Lots of shots of the midwest/western Northern American terrains in this challenge. This is the best I've seen so far (2/3's through voting). Great lighting and deep DOF. Marvelous textures. Beatifully shot. Good luck.
