Rare bird. Nice wingspread. More details in the wings would have been good. Where did you photograph this?

Placing the bird in the left half of the frame would have helped in getting a more dynamic feel to the image. The focus seems to be a bit off. Agree about the ID. Thanks for sharing.

Agree with Bibhav on the compo. The focus seems off. Why f13?

Sachin,
The wing stretch is good. It needed a positive exposure compensation. Please refer to the photography tips section for tutorials on exposure.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

You saw this at Karnala? Surprising, there have been no vulture sightings in that area for at least the past 5-6 years...
