Watching and waiting.
Normally I don't shoot Vultures, but this one was coming right at me and I couldn't pass it up.

    Good capture, I would have tried to see if I could have brought out some of the shadow detail on the subject's right shoulder. The focus is spot on and you have good details in the image. You might try to see ifyou can get the to stand out a tad more.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thank you, The main reason I don't normally shoot Vultures is because they tend to circle high out of reach.

    Given that it's black and the sun was nearly directly overhead makes bringing out any detail in that area a difficult task. I tried, using a few different methods, but then it looked too unnatural and/or noisy.

    Yeah, sometimes you can and often you can't at least you gave it a try.
