Basri, there is a lot I like about this picture including the lignt on the vulture's back, the perch and the bit of cloud in the sky. Very nice photo.

An interesting raptor. Good detail, pose, perch and catchlight. Good evening light to cap it off makes for an expert image.

An interesting looking raptor, I would have to group it with the turkey vulture in wondering what they did to tick off the creator that they were made so homely. Be that as it may I really like the pose and perch of your capture.

Basri,
It as all been said, and, to sum it up,
OutStanding . . .
