Oh MY, I do really like the high key effect portrait Kedar.

Sweet, Kedar. Extremely sharp and I love your pov. The larger version is really impressive.

Interesting crop Kedar. Certainly makes this vulture look comical rather than sinister.
I think it would benefit from a little bit of underexposing/darkening, especially at the top of the wing and the top of the head.

I'm fine with the exposure. That, the angle and the crop really give this a different feel from your typical vulture portrait.
