Once again love the FG and BG environment, the view of the near wing and face is just sublime. TFS

Only one - where's the other?
Super shot I like the low level position with the OOF grasses, wing position very appealing.
You may disagree but are the darkest areas just a little too dark/heavy .. or possibly contrast a tad high????

This is a very beautiful frame Arash.
Lovely wing position with a nice subtle head angle. If this was mine I would dodge the darker stem just below the near wing.

Arash:
The colors, pose, angle, all great. I get Gails point about the area at the tip of the near wing. Could just soften it a bit more if you don't want to remove it.
The head doesn't look quite as sharp as the near wing, which is really crisp.
Cheers

Another beauty. Great flight pose and detail; just the right amount of habitat. To Randy's point, I suppose you could hit the face with just a tiny bit of selective sharpening. But I'd be thrilled to have this in my Harrier collection just as is.

Looks great. Nice to see the harrier low and just above the grasses. Light is great as well.

Thanks Randy the head looks tack sharp on my 4K NEC. It could just be an illusion due to the nasal feathers.

Looks plenty sharp to me, I think people feel the need for some criticism where there is none.
Your photos are too good!!
I do agree with Gail on removing the dark areas below the wing.

The head looks perfectly sharp to me too. Contrast and tonalities and EXP all look perfect. My preference would have been for the bird to have been flying two feet higher to soften up the BKGR.
The only thing that bugs me (very slightly) is the spot of sun on the otherwise shaded far wing.
with love, artie
ps: the feathers on the near wing are arranged quite --- not sure for the right word here, differently? It looks as if the second primary on that wing, the really dark one, is in the process of growing in ...

Arash: Perhaps it is the soft nasal feathers causing the impression as you mention. Viewing it on 5K monitor, so resolution on my end not a problem. Lovely frame.

hey Randy if it is a Mac monitor it may not look good on it because of the display scaling.

Thanks Artie, you probably misses this thread http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...sition-harrier but this is transitional harrier, the plumage is indeed in the process of morphing from a juvenile to an adult. while I have many frames of the harriers this bird was unique.
