A Hooded Vulture (called Baldrick) stares purposefully at me - as I stare back at him, thinking that I'm glad to be alive! Shot through the cage wire using my 28-105mm zoom at 78mm and focused on the ruff of his neck in order to get the whole head in focus.
His handler Mandy loves him dearly and he is exercised frequently in huge, open space. Shortly after I took this Mandy came into his enclosure and fed him dead chicks, which he tore to shreds with consumate ease. Nice. I hope you agree though, that he does look a rather special character. The moment I took it I knew his pose was exactly what I wanted, but the high ISO (low light) and background were not. So this is one shot I knew I'd have to edit more than usual to get it looking the way it deserved.
