Good shot!

Nah! he is Magnificent!! Nice shot! I think they can sense your feelings, I took a shot of one last week or so. My nephew and some people were saying negative things about this beautiful creature and he slowly backed off into a corner in the dark and hung his head, it was soooo SAD. I felt horrible. We were at the zoo the other day when it happened. I tried to get some shots of him and I could have cried he looked so hurt. I felt his great pain. Pehaps he is not considered lovely by some but, this bird was also created by the master and serves a purpose in life as well as any other. It made me think of how we judge by outward appearances and not the soul of things. Sorry I just felt bad for the guy. I am trying to see the world for it's spiritual meaning. I don't mean that you don't, I just mean we are so mistaken so many times by the obvious and do not look deep enough into the world and its' life... sometimes. I am trying to change my views on things like this. At one time I might have reacted this way too, but not after seeing this birds distress and shame. Have a great day. Take care CB

Nice close up,I would try burn in/tone down the rock if you can as it takes your eye away from looking at the vulture. but it is a good shot of the vulture.

I tried once and failed, he flew off before I could get my camera ready.

Interestingly enough - in late summer, turkey vultures inhabit a tree - dozens of the birds fill this and several other trees on th west edge of Boulder. They sleep in the tree and as the sun warms them up, they stretch their wings and fly off and circle the foothills. I used to think they were eagles. i don't know how you'd make them beautiful, but this is a pretty good attmept. i might take some light off the rock.
