Composition and lighting is what got the low scores IMO.

Hi. I'm responding to your request for comments in a thread. I think the score is about right. The flash creates some pretty strong shadows while also throwing the head into too-bright, flat light. Also, the composition doesn't draw me in. Both of those are personal taste, of course.

Oh my, that's a wonderful shot. I've never seen such a beautiful shot of a turkey vulture. Or is it more than one bird? Whatever, it's impressive.

Don't quite get what you concept you are trying to convey. From the title, I assume its the bird making the discovery of Drew, but its difficult to figure out what exactly. Horrible flash lighting shadows
