Wow that is some photo you have taken his eye is clear ad day Very Well Done

What its not a photo it's a fantastic painting very well done you should be proud of yourself

A great close up of this Bearded Vulture Spiz!

Excellent painting Spizaetos - I too admire the talent of artists like Brenders - I have heard people who say why paint lifelike images of wildlife (or anything) when a photo could do as well but such people don’t understand the freedom painting has to impose your own lighting and habitat - painting allows you to control the narrative with the result that such works like yours and Brenders have tremendous dramatic qualities to me as well as being breathtakingly stunning in the detail.

A stunning portrait with great detail; a wonderful piece of artwork.

Oh my goodness... those feathers look real, as if you've plucked a bird and stuck them in place... incredible work Paschalis.

I can see how inspirational Carl's work must have been they're beautiful, aren't they.

Many thanks for showing us this magnificent vulture my friend. I love it.
