Who's a pretty boy then!

I am concerned that the make-up may have been a little heavy for this

shoot, the model seeemed happy though.

A very good close up of the bird. Seems little yuck as such. but for as a picture vulture (i think i am write) is great model and make up isperfect enough to give creeps to anyone. Gret job done. Please visit and commment on my work also

Yes it is a vulture, but I was a little dumb and forgot to not the make and model, thanks for the comments.

agree on the makeup comment, also what is wrong with your stylist? where is the hair?

 

the awkward sod refused to wear his wig, said it made him look like a Centauri (B5).

Reminds me of the cartoon years ago of a girdle on a warthog.The caption read,"Beauty aid".

 

Kudos to you fore even taking the shot and then actually submitting it...for our viewing pleasure!By the way,you have got Peri's nude below you busting up at the absurdity of the situation,check it out!

Ha!And then you have an insulted peacock to your right!You gotta love it Mark.

This guy needs a new hairdresser. The dof is great for bg purposes but I would like the beak sharp. He reminds me of one of my old teachers, for all I know he's probably sitting on the cane that used to stripe my hide.

I wanted to increase the DOF to shorten the beak, but he complained, saying that he liked the idea of the tip being out of focus so giving the impression of size. Always the same with these models, beak envy. I told him he had nothing to be ashamed of, but he still felt insecure. The feathers aren't feathers he was wearing a long black coat, apparently, some kind of genetic problem he didn't feel able to talk about, a few more weeks of therapy and he said he'd be his old self again. Never work with children or vultures....

This is not an image that I had ever hoped to see, but you captured it marvelously! I'm quite impressed by all of your photos. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jeannette, got to love him though!
