Good focus on the eye, that makes the picture for me

Tack sharp eyes and psychic contact with this harrier, Arash. This, plus nice dihedral wing position, pleasing BG and spot on exposure makes a very strong composition. Nice post!

Great pose and lovely bg. Eye contact couldn't be better!

[Doug Brown]

Great eye contact. Nice sharpness. I'd crop a little tighter on the bird. I'm not crazy about the bird being in the center of the frame, but not sure where I'd move it to either (it's flying left but looking right).

[Dave Leroy]

Very nice shot. Nice eye contact and very sharp. Dave

[Morkel Erasmus]
