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!

My, what a beautiful creature - NOT! Nice shot of that smooth red head.

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

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

over processed. Tone it down. Cannot make a bad shot better by smacking it with photoshop

That's what I call sunburn.

Nice close shot but it's pity the focus is not quite there, or a bit of camera shake?

Blurry and grainy.

Not the most attractive birds, are they? The branch framing is nice; sharpening and noise reduction look overdone in places.
