Northern Harrier

This is another shot of the gray ghost, I chose a wider crop to include more of the habitat.

nice shot arash. a round of nr is good to me on the bg and a little more head turn towards you but i still like the way it is been portrayed with the kind of habitat and the background tone's here.

Arash, Beautiful image. I like the eye contact and the details in the wings. I like the inclusion of the twigs at the bottom. Nicely done.

Arash Bhai, nice freeze, good details, nice BG and the sticks at the bottom adds well, congrats..

Love it! The pose and the habitat all come together for a sweet shot.

Awesome shot Arash such a pretty composition so nicely captured.

I like the wing position and setting and would sharpen the bird a bit more.

[Stu Bowie]

Arash, I like the wing positions, and the space he's flying into. He pops from the BG nicely, and cant help thinking that if you run some more NR on the BG, he will pop even more.

Hi Arash,
Normally I don't like things protruding into the frame.....they seem to fit well in this image! Very nice pose and light!

[Dave Barnes]

Very well capture Arash, I think you did well to keep the bird in focus with that BG. The bird blends into the surroundings. I like the birds feather detail and colour.
I find the grey bush on the left a bit distracting and would have tended towards a bit of a tighter crop to reduce it.
