Absolutely excellent.
Love everything about it.
Perfect light, BG grasses and HA. And the prey is truly "killer" (pardon the pun!)
You get a 9.99/10. In order to get a10/10 the mouse would be looking our way.
You are really doing well at this spot,
Gail

Beautifully sharp on the harrier, great habitat. Lovely light. Great talon on the bird, nice texture on the prey. Yes to 0.01 for the mouse HA, otherwise perfect.

Love the pose, BG, foreground grasses, and the prey item. Hanging talon is awesome. Details look good, but also seeing a lot of noise in the plumage that could be handled to clean the frame up a bit. I'd clone out the grass touching the face. TFS

Hi Dan, you nailed everything here. Love the head turn, overall tack sharp, and I like the inclusion of the grasses. The mouse looks like he is praying.

[John Mack]

Bet you were thrilled to get this one. Looks good to me all around.

[Dorian Anderson]

This is fantastic, probably my favorite frame from you. Everything is spot on. The prey and claws really put this over the top. I really like the backing reeds. They show just the right amount of habitat. I'm glad you
left as much room below the bird as you did. Really sweet!

[arash_hazeghi]

You nailed this one Dan. Love the look back and the good view of the talons plus the vole dinner (unfortunate for the vole). Agree it’s the best harrier frame you have posted to date
