Not Just Another Pretty Face

I just sent Frank a PM telling him that I had been to the same zoo in March and have photos of the same bird, which is a Cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus).

So, here are 2 photos I took. And apparently in March, he had a little more feathers :)

You got a shot from his 'good' side! LOL I think there was more than one and due to the color differences if we may have a male and female? Or perhaps it is just the lighting or exposure differences.

try this, from centered to dynamic.... the eyes need to be in razor sharp focus, OK

still needs some "nose-room" / beak room on the right side. Might try a Horizontal flip into right reading

OK. I am learning. This is my result using Willie's new "High Contrast and Detail Effect using dodge and burn technique" tutorial. I't not a good as his, but then this is my first attempt using the technique and he is the master. Thank you Willie! :D

Now if Pretty Face only had a hat.....

That's awesome, Frank. You easily picked up the process from the tutorial. Now, he looks balder and with more depth. Hehehe. Congratulations. :D

You are indeed. It's been great to watch the development of your knowledge and skill through this exchange, Frank. And it is so much what CiC is about.

Congratulations.

Thank you Willie and Donald. I've been having a blast but none of it would have been possible without the kind folks at CiC nudging me in the right direction! :cool: :D
