there is something so exquisite about this head. perhaps it's the rich colors, I don't know. could it be that turkeys/vultures have souls?

Seems to be a little sharper on his fine hairs than the rest of the details. May be a touch to centered for me.

Well isn't he different? Talk about the ugly duckling! The green bokeh definitely makes him stand out nicely.

There's not much wrong with this picture that a more attractive model wouldn't fix.
