Was looking for harriers when this guy just landed a few yards away, managed to pull a few shots before it zipped off!

Angle, eye contact and BG look very good. I would just sharpen a bit less.

Excellent detail Arash, and the light has brought out the colours nicely. Killer complimentary BG too.

Beautifully done.
Love the detail in the feathers, including the whites. What really strikes me is the reflection in the eye. I like the horizon aspect.

Arash, loved the pose, catchlight, exposure, comp and BG. But it does look oversharpened. Must have been thrilling to see him land where he did.

It would have been good to keep the original and post an updated image so that people who look at it later know what we were talking about.

Will do next time Axel.
