Hi Justin,
I moved your photo over to the Avian Gallery - hope you don't mind. And I'm sure this vulture's mom thinks he/she looks just fine and not at all ugly!
Cheers...

Hi Justin,
One thing that you will learn is composition. If you are able to position the eye of the vulture more to the corner of the upper third corner of your image, that will strengthen this composition (read over the rule of thirds). So provide more space on the left and at the bottom of your picture. Negative space is just as important as the subject in a photograph and the background you have here is nice and smooth too. The focus and detail are also good, but you can do some basic editing to improve this picture by playing around with the darks. There's detail in those shadows so that's your next lesson--work on developing this image to reveal more shadow detail. Do you have the image before any cropping was done? ...........................Jim
