Notes This shot was taken on a beanbag on driver side window, pretty looking bird.
This is a very nice photo. I know some people don't like to see man made stuff like barbed wires etc. but I don't mind it at all, it tells a story on where these birds like to perch. I really like the little blade of grass in the image with a superb BG. I may be tempted just to tone down the whites just a tad bit on the belly of the bird. TFS this great image.
I agree 100% with the first critique. However, I would like to add that the barbed wire is going through the center of the frame and I feel cuts through the image. I would prefer seeing some off of the bottom, moving the barbed wire down and adding a little back on top if you have it. A very lovely pose and raptor. Or I can also see a version smaller in the frame simply with more room on top, left and right.
