    Beautiful light, background, pose and composition. Love the head angle. Bummer abut the perch but at least the color blends within the color palette. I am trying to force myself to stop capturing Snowy Owls on man made objects.

    Arash, yep, good bird, bad perch. Image looks on the warm side to me but if it's afternoon that makes sense.
    Nice details, BG, and HA.

    I would print this if mine. My chance of getting a shot of a perched harrier in my neck of the woods is far and few in between. Sweet light and a nice pose here.

    I'm sure you would have preferred a nicely weathered wooden fence post, but I do not know anyone who would not have taken the time to photograph this scene! Sweet light and BG.

    Hi Arash Loreley bird on a not that nice perch ...but no big deal .
    Love the warm soft light and the pose .
    I might be wrong but here and there seems to be some masking issues ...i.e. around the head and other parts along the edge of the bird.
    Good choice of the raw engine ....

    TFS Andreas
