Thanks for the suggestions, Randal. That sort of feedback is exactly what I'm here for.
The blur was actually not intentional in this one, to be honest. I was a bit disappointed to see it when I loaded up the image in Photoshop. I'll have to work on that, also.
Rakesh, I have tried to capture the lonely feeling of a soaring turkey vulture myself, and it's really hard. Here's what I will suggest about your attempt: the subject is too small for the canvas; it would be more effective if it were to the right side of the photo, so as to 'fly into' the picture. Centering such a small subject in this way is not the best presentation. The blur gives a good sense of motion, however at the expense of detail. There are more buzzards out there, let's both keep trying... Regards, Randal Dean
