Best damn portrait of a vulture I've ever seen, should have scored higher - but I guess vultures will never be in vogue. :)

Ew, these are ugly critters, but you captured this guy quite nicely. Really like the bokeh colors.

Gawd, those are not pretty birds! Nonetheless you captured enough detail in the eye to make him seem like there's a soul in there. Nice portrait, really.

Beautiful shot. Really nice comp, lighting, and love the bokeh. You've made an ugly bird very atrractive indeed. I particularly like the mottled-ness of the feathers, and the very distinguished pose.

Lovely, I really love the detail in his neck and head and the colour and light in his eye. The background bokeh is just gorgeous.

Most people will probably vote this down cause vultures aren't as sexy as other birds, but I like it. 7
