    Sasan;

    Handsome bird, nice pose, stark environment.

    Not sure what the 'food' item is, but he certainly is guarding it.

    Good point of view.

    Cheers

    Nice bird like the low angle and the prey. Is that fish?

    This is very very nice! Definitely a new species for me. I love the low angle perspective here and the BG is to die for. I also like the eye showing up on the food item. Is it hard to get close to one of these?

    Like the pose, BG color, and the fish in Harrier's talons. I would clone the OOF dark and orange-ish patches at the bottom left.

    Stunning image Love the low angle and the light. Do these harriers generally eat fish?

    Very nice, love the colours and the light conditions. Lovely pose on the bird and a great POV. It looks to me as though this is a number of fish heads, used to bait the bird. Or is this natural behaviour.

    Very nice in all respects!! The light and the angle really make this one shine along with that nice smooth background. Well done
